and noone works as hard as it takes to make a good game for free.

you obviously didn't own an xbox lantus, odd, xport, all the members of team aftershock all made awesome games because they love what they do and don't expect any money in return. there is tons of quality open source pc software were the devs aren't even looking for donations too. and lets not forget the xbox media center.

not saying that all xbox live arcade stuff should be free, but i am saying people do work hard enough to make an awesome game for free.

I know from an Interview that SNK Playmore's boss Ben Herman says that MS really wants developers to use compression techniques to get the game under the 50MB limit. Mr. Herman seemed to think that some games couldn't be compressed that much, though. I think MS needs to work with SNK as much as possible in order to get all of the Neo Geo games on the Xbox Live Arcade. I would love to see Magician Lord from the Neo Geo on Xbox Live Arcade; that game was only 46MB. Other 50MB or smaller Neo Geo games are Baseball Stars Professional, Ninja Combat, Cyber Lip. Super Dodge Ball, and Nam 75. I would really love to see Neo Geo games like Samurai Shodown, Samurai Shodown 2, the King of Fighter games, the Fatal Fury games, the World Heroes and Art of Fighting games, and all of the Metal Slug games. I would like to see The Super Spy, too.

MS, if you are reading this, please get all of the Neo Geo games from SNK on the Xbox Live Arcade!

Also, please get all of those JAMMA arcade board games to work on the Xbox Live Arcade...especially 4 player WWF Wrestlefest by Technos. I would also love to play the 4 player version of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles by Konami.

<peeve>Grrr the correct phrase is I "couldn't care less". When you say I "could care less" you are implying that you care some and possibly a great deal which is the opposite of your intent. As usual with idiomatic expressions the meaning of the actual words are forgotten and thus mangled.</peeve>

Its cool, but I don't like the fact that we have to buy them. I wish we could accumulate points through playing games, and just time spent on the console would give you a few points here and there. I feel like MS is trying to squeeze too many bucks outta me. I havent even purchased a game though, so I can't say how much of a cost it is. But I just know I would like there to be other ways. Like tournaments or something, more xblive matches you win, you could score some points, etc.

I like all the demo's they release for free. Thats pretty damn cool of MS to do for us. However, they should keep up to date with the trailers, and does anyoen else notice it takes forever to download any of the hd trailers, or games for that matter. I havent even downloaded a game yet, its just rediculous. I cant wait to download in the background. hd content is gonna bog down the net ...

edit::
I'm only on my free month of xblive, and I don't know if I'll sign on for gold after, only because, playing games is not too important to me. Sometimes its near impossible to find a match online for a game anyways... so its pretty dissapointing in that respect. Also, its pretty bad that they haven't updaetd the compatibility list in a long while... I wanted to play ESPN NHL 2K5 the other day, and it wouldnt let me .... I upgraded and than it told me incompatible... like... what gives MS... your a bunch of assholes for that one! I'd like to see some more games added to taht list soon... fack.. im actualyl quite pissed at m$ now... The other thing, once you buy an XBA game, if you delete it, can you download it again for free?

Hexic HD alone is reason to buy a 360

It is the Xbox 360 launch killer-app as Halo is to Xbox.

[law56ker]

since a modified xbox blows away the amount of games your "allowed" to play on 360 i don't think it's that awesome.

[kryo]

They're the best games on the system so far :D

Not counting, perhaps, Oblivion and Ghost Recon 3...

I'm looking forwards to more great and cheap Live Arcade offerings, Lumines should be good at least. Buying them is easy, maybe even TOO easy (just how far did MS go securing the credit card data and everything? It is a one-two-bought -procedure...).

Although sadly my 360 just departed for germany for repairs, so no Geometry Wars or Zuma for a while. I really, really hope MS gets it fixed soon.

where is KILLER INSTINCT?????????????????????????????

Yeah.. I get pissed every time I see/hear that.. and that's why was looking at the forum posts..

[Phantisy]

I have bought a few already on PC. I will not pay for them again. I think they are over priced anyway. I havnt an arcade game in over a year.

I agree with you!! If they put 1 and 2 on here for XBA, it would be great. I'd buy both of them. I'm a big fan of Geometry wars, and Kudos to BillyBlaze for hitting over 101 million. It's only a matter of time until K4RN4GE comes back over the top. I can't even score 1 million, but yet I'm still addicted to Geo Wars. I can hit 500K almost every time. My highest score is 644K. I think I'm in 13,800th place on the leaderboards. I'm off to play it now

[luap]

I've boughten several games... I love it.

Geowars, UNO, and Astropop are my favorite games
