XBLA Game Collection

Showing 1-10 of 30 items

Shadow Complex

1. Shadow Complex

One of the best XBLA releases out there. It's fun, looks great, and has good replay value. It's also fairly easy to S-rank.

Bejeweled

2. Bejeweled

Great time waster.

Carcassonne

3. Carcassonne

This is a fun two-or-more player game that plays just like the board game.

Pac-Man Championship Edition

4. Pac-Man Championship Edition

A great update on the classic Pac-Man formula, but became obsolete when Pac-Man: CE DX came out.

Pac-Man Championship Edition DX

5. Pac-Man Championship Edition DX

Faster, more frantic, more fun. Pac-Man: CE DX is a wonderful reflex game. While easy, it's still a blast to play.

Limbo

6. Limbo

The visual aesthetic and sparse sound effects provide wonderful atmosphere. I think it's a bit overlong, and there's no real replay value, but it's really well done.

Braid

7. Braid

One of the most hyped XBLA games. Braid is well conceived and fun to play. Like other games of its ilk, there's really no replay value once you beat it.

Super Meat Boy

8. Super Meat Boy

This game is hard as hell, but it's really rewarding once you beat a level. This is one of the best XBLA games available and is worth every penny.

Geometry Wars: Retro Evolved

9. Geometry Wars: Retro Evolved

Geometry Wars is really fun, but you should skip it and get Retro Evolved 2 instead.

Geometry Wars: Retro Evolved 2

10. Geometry Wars: Retro Evolved 2

The best of the dual-stick shooters on XBLA, GW2 has a great visual style, thumping music, and surprisingly varied game modes. The leaderboards will have you constantly trying to one-up your friends.
