Xbox Arcade Games
Well I purchase arcade games now and then on the dashboard just to try things out that look cool..
Have been purchasing them more often lately.. Thought I'd let you guys know what ones I liked.
I'll probably update my list If I buy a new one, If you guys know one that's pretty cool feel free
to give it a shout out so we can check it out.
I always try the trial before I purchase, so I go into buying each arcade title knowing what the game is
and almost always enjoy the play through. The fact that it's cheaper is a nice bonus I think
I don't expect much, but if I get something more than a tiny game out of it it's that much better.
I'll just go in order of purchase.
Prince of Persia:
An Arcade version of the classic prince of persia sidescroller, Looks pretty accurate to my knowledge.
I enjoyed going back to this one.
Hydrophobia:
I wasn't honestly going to buy this title but once it dropped in price
I watched a few videos on it and it peeked my interest.
Tried the trial, liked that, got the game and the play through was pretty cool.
It has a climbing kind of puzzle feel to it, those games I always thought were fun.
Black Light: Tango Down:
I enjoyed this game quite a bit when I first bought it
Never seen anything like the weapon customization, change various aspects of your gun
to fit your playstyle, earn "Dogtags" with unique looks to add to the gun for Attack bonuses.
You earn a few armors for your character through leveling up but player customization was
pretty minimal compared to the whole gun thing.
Worth a play I think, Try the trial to be sure.
I AM Alive:
Well, This game was very challenging. Another Climb, Puzzle type game..
more of a survival feel to it. I Recommend this one to all.
Ultimate MK3:
Personally, I love the mortal kombat series..
The moment I saw this one I purchased it.
Nothing beats the classics.
DOOM:
Straight gritty pixely shooter, the same as I remember it.
Another good classic to pick up.
Trials HD:
I will not compare this one to it's sequel.
This game was a lot of fun, I tend to complete most games within the first few days
and this one was no exception, but still a challenge. Worth a mention, as the first of it's kind on Xbox.
Trials Evolution:
This was a complete overhaul.
Outdoor worlds, Actual Scenery.
I play this every now and then, can't wait for the new DLC to come out.
Counter-Strike: GO:
Wow, What can I say?
Long time Counter strike fan.. I planned to love this no matter what the out come was.
I was so ready to see this on console, bummed the cross platform wasn't for xbox
but what can you do. Love it, Will play it for quite a while.
Tony Hawk's PS HD:
Well, I'm no die hard fan of the series.
I did however play a majority of them, It was great to go back to the things I remembered..
and even some I didn't.. still playing through the campaign. Almost maxed out Rodney Mullen.
NBA JAM: OFE:
Ha, I don't play NBA Games much anymore but when I saw this I had to give it a try.
I had never played the original, but still enjoy this.
Big headed nba players, and the rosters are hecka old. Larry Bird!
The First NBA Arcade style game I've seen..
2 on 2 basketball with four 2.5 minute quarters.
Dunks from half court, Ball sets on fire after 3 consecutive shots.
It's hilarious, a ton of fun however.. and not having played nba games in a while
it was that much better.
The Road trip is intense, you go around the world going up against a ton of teams.
all 2 on 2 of course.
Something like 100 games to be played in the career.
Realms of Ancient Wars:
Well, Part of why these games are interesting to me is the price range..
I was able to find this one through a teaser trailer they put out earlier in the month.
A decent hack n slash, Decent skills to put time into and some cool looking armors.
Just wish you could play it online, then we would be talking.
I was looking for a fix, not having anything to run the recent diablo III.
It's not the best hack n slash out there, but for it's price
It was decent.
It was fun.. Story line was REALLY long, I enjoyed that about it.
