Favorite Xbox Live Arcade game

I don't have Live yet, but for those who do have it, what is your favorite Live Arcade game for the 360? So far, I played Hexic HD that came with the 360's hard drive. If I do get Live, I may try Peggle.

Geometry Wars 1 and 2, Castle Crashers, Doom, Duke Nukem, Bomberman, Street Fighter HD Remix are all titles I felt that I definitely got my money's worth if not MORE.

ESPECIALLY Geometry Wars. I can't think of a game I spent 5$ on, and was still playing it over a year later.

Yaris.

Bomberman is good, Peggle is good, Boom Boom Rocket is good too. I haven't played the Street Fighter HD remake yet but I imagine it's cool.

Bionic Commando Rearmed is my favorite. I also really like Megaman 9, Puzzle Fighter HD, Streer Fighter 2HD, and Omega Five. It's nice to finally have the arcade Double Dragon, TMNT, Golden Axe, and Super Contra on a home system. Doom and Duke Nukem 3D are good since I cant get those to work on my new pc. A lot of other good games if you dont already own them on another system - Ikaruga, Triggerheart Exelica, Metal Slug 3, Contra, Samurai Shodown 2, Fatal Fury Special, Streets of Rage 2, Sonic 1&2.

(not really a fan of most of the original stuff. I like the old arcade games and remakes of old arcade games better)

Geometry Wars and Banjo Kazooie

Mega Man 9 (have the Wii version, but it's the same game on all the console). & I've heard great things about Braid & both Geometry Wars games.

If you're thinking of Metal Slug 3, just save yourself the money & get the Metal Slug Anthology. Heck, ANY game that you can just buy in a collection/compilation disk (Sonic games on Genesis, Metal Slug games, Samurai Shodown, etc.), just get that instead.

Oh, & Rez HD & Ikaruga. & if it ever happens, Marvel Vs. Capcom 2.

Definitely Braid and Mega Man 9 -- Braid was a labor of love and it really shows through -- The game is puzzling in all of the best ways, and is just plain pretty too.

I heard a rumor that Braid might come to PSN (not Wii, though. Size restrictions. Crap...& I doubt it'd be downloadable for PSP...)

If you like Castlevania, then you can download Symphony of the Night.

Every Extend Extra Extreme is worth a try (have the PSP version & plan on getting E4 once I get a 360).

Oh, & if you enjoyed Meteos, there's Meteos Wars.

I like Luxor 2, it's quite good. I also like Boom Boom Rocket, both Geometry Wars Games (Got 10,000,000 pts. + on both games!) and Hexic HD.

Braid, Bionic Commando: Rearmed, Omega Five and Pac-man Championship Edition are probably my favorites. I've done a TON of co-op playthroughs of BCR and I've gone through Super Hard more than I can count. I might even still have some top 3 times in Challenges (mostly Elevation). Omega Five and Pac-man are the only XBLA games (or games period) where I have all 200 points. Braid is just awesome.

I'd recommend Mega Man 9 but only if you're totally okay with the d-pad on the 360 controller or if you have a better controller.
