With the 360 connected even with silver right out of the box, I'm going to be honest, LIVE is addicting.
Even the old arcade and parlor games are a blast for demos or just a few bucks.
geometry wars, Joust, Robotron etc rules for killing time.
Anyone with an internet connction to the 360 will find this out as well.
I see this expanding LIVE's userbase exponentially this gen.

so the achievements is mandatory for all LA games??jedimike said:
if so i don't know what they could add to games like Castlevania & Shinobi. i think they should definetley rethink that. XBLA is a great thing, but it would be the ultimate if we could get the console games.
and good lookin on the avi. it's vida guerra, bangin cuban with a ass like whoa.

200 gamer points and a maximum of 12 seperate achievements.
you can easily do achievments for Contra.
Beat the game.
Use the Konami code.
beat the game without the konami code.
beat the game without dying.
play a 2 player game.
play a 2 players game over xbox live.
score x amount of points
score y amount of points
score z amount of points
The could give points for beating a level in a a game, so castlevanias achievments could be simply beating each level as a seperate achievment.
Edit: each achievment gives you a certain number of gamerpoints. Its a running total across all games. Sort of like an overall high score for Xbox 360 owners across all games.

The fireworks sandbox scenario, or something newer?
I downloaded the fireworks scenario last week when it went up, and it's neat enough. It's just the regular sandbox scenario only it periodically gives you the choice to buy a fireworks show. Provides a reason for you to bother earning money in that mode.

Kaloki madness! A new GamerTag pack with TEN NEW IMAGES!
Oh, and also a free new scenario and a full-on Five Chapter Love Story for 200 Points. It's Paul Wall, baby.

Keep in mind, Robotron etc are in 720p as well. This doesn't mean the game will be reformatted for 16:9.

Korrupt wanted this posted. Requires membership to read, something about a worms port or something, I didn't read it myself.
"Actually, MS did contact us about this last year and there have been forward moving discussions."
"We do see it as a pivotal and perhaps ideal place for the series to land, a view shared by various XB360 Live Arcade planning folks."
"However, for one reason and another (to be honest, mainly our obligations with PSP/DS) the development didn't happen (actually we were on the XBLA dev list around E3 time) but now that we've experienced just how awesome XB Live is on 360, we've resurrected the conversations. I wouldn't expect it anytime shortly (and it won't be a quick port of Armageddon etc) but it is on the agenda."
"Also, if it did make it, it'd be a 2d version with a lot of downloadable content - which is something Live Arcade is very cool about."

Yeah, I don't get why there's no wi-fi on either Worms DS/PSP. Worms is definitely coming to XBLA, it just going to take some time. I think that online is a lock and the dude at Team 17 already mentioned downloadable content.
Its easily my most wanted XBLA game, along with Puzzle Fighter and Metal Slug.

I'm glad this thread got stickied. I'm thinking it'll probably be used far more in the coming months.
I swear to god one of you PM me the instant Marble Blast Ultra is released, that's my number one anticipated game that's coming out soon for XBLA.

is it wrong that im thinking of buying a 360 just for XBLA?
Teknopathetic said:
Sales +1. This is one of the reasons why XBL Arcade is so great. IMO, Worms has no business being in the 3D realm. Team 17 has been kicking their own arses trying to bring Worms franchise into 3D and the results have not been the best. With XBLA, they can stop fucking around with 3D and just make a better 2D game.

If they did Worms in 2.5D I think it could be very cool, but yeah, full 3D doesn't work.
MTV has an article up on Live Arcade with some interesting bits

I kept wondering what all the hype with Marble Blast was until I realized you guys are mentioning a different marble game than the one I had in mind. I always thought you guys were bringing up Marble Madness which really sucks IMO.
Anyway if there were to be a Worms for XBLA that would own x100 more than any other game right now. Bring on the can-o-worms.

Which makes me wonder why you make a derivative game and TAKE OUT THE MULTIPLAYER!?
Edit: Although... it does say Co-op... but it also says Players 1.
