Just wonderin....

I see that there are a good amount of games there but how many games are truly worth the few dollars? Are there any that most you have? Any truly great games on there? thnx...

I've only got SmashTV and it's definetly not worth getting, too repetitive and after about 5 minutes you die pretty much all the time, you'd never finish it if you didn't have infinite lives. I liked the demo but it just goes downhill after that.

I'll probably get Sonic 1 when it comes out for the achievement points even though I have the game twice already

It could, but if all questions regarding certain consoles went to their proper threads, it would just be a Sony thread, an Xbox thread, and a Nintendo thread. It would be pretty boring in here. It's allowed to have separate threads if you have a topic that's worth discussing.

I own, in no real order...

Cloning Clyde
DOOM
Uno
Street Fighter II
Geometry Wars
Hexic HD (which comes with the console)
Texas Hold Em' (which was free)

The only games I would ever recommend are Cloning Clyde and DOOM. Although my sister loves to play Uno, so that was a good purchase too. Geometry Wars is the single most overrated game on XBLA, honestly. Other than that, I've played the demo's for pretty much all the other games and I've seen nothing worth dropping money on. The majority of the XBLA is crap.
