I need a new XBLA game or two and was looking for a few ideas.
I like a good challenge so difficultly isn't much of a issue, but I don't want something thats going to make me pull my hair out for a achievement (See Trials HD Marathon Achievement, which I WILL earn someday).
No Splosion Man (Great game), only because of the co-op achievements (I don't have anyone that could help me Local, so for that reason alone its a NO).
So anything thats fun and has obtainable achievements.
Hows The Maw? I heard it was good.
I DON'T want any easy 200/200 games that take minutes to complete, I want a game not just achievements. |
F@ck you EA. |

Maw is a fun experience, yet tends to be quite easy.
I would recommend it, Age of Booty, Sam & Max (very good, but may be a bit pricey), and Family Game Night (arcade/retail? who knows, but good nonetheless).
Maybe Puzzle quest if you like bejeweled and RPG's
Peggle is nice and way difficult
Anything else I cannot comment on as I don't play many arcade titles. |

Shadow Complex is fantastic!! If you liked Metroid, you'll love this. It's 3D, but not.
Worms and Worms 2 were both good, but I like those types of games.
If you like puzzles, there's Puzzle Quest, Puzzle Arcade, and Winterbottom.
Those are ones that I can think of that haven't already been mentioned. |

| I picked up Kingdom for Keflings on sale for 400 points, its a resource game and I've been having fun with that one. It's a good going to bed game. |

I liked Keflings, but then, all of the sudden, you're done.
Let me know if you need a few banners. |

| Shadow Complex for sure. I would also recommend Defense Grid, and The Maw is great too |

| I already have Shadow Complex (bought it the day it came out, loved it), still looking for ideas. I might give The Maw a try later even tho the achievements do look pretty easy, will it at least take a few hours to complete? |
F@ck you EA. |

The Maw does take a little while to complete, I thought it was a very quick 250/250, which it is not. Definitely on the easy side. Have you tried Castlevania: Symphony of the Night? That's a good one.
Peggle is also really addictive, despite being really simple. Puzzle Quest is fun, I really need to play it more. Crystal Defenders is one I like, and it can be either an easy completion or a hard one, depending if you follow guides or not.
Oh! Bionic Commando Re-Armed! It's TOUGH! |

F@ck you EA. |

| I have heard nothing but good things about Snoopy Flying Aces. There's a Quick Look on GiantBomb.com that looked good. |

I picked up Lazy Raiders when it was on sale and enjoyed that one quite a bit.
I also purchased Zombie Apocalypse after playing the demo (it still might be 400 points yet today). I haven't played the full version yet, but the demo was fun.
Peggle will take you a loooooong time - well worth the money! |
I play every day.

I picked up Zombie Apocalypse on Saturday, great game for 400 points, 800 points I'm not so sure about.

| If you like tower defense, Defense Grid is as good as that will get (the demo doesn't really do the complexity of the game justice). If you're looking for a very new spin on that genre, I spent a lot of time playing Toy Soldiers, eventually 100% that after putting in a lot of work. |
Killjoy was here. |

| The Maw was a fun little game. I have played through it about 4 times now. Peggle is awesome. I saw some vids of it and thought to myself, "People are addicted to this?" Now I can't put it down. Defense Grid is good, Puzzle Quest can easily suck up hours. |
