Lumines Live!
Marble Blast Ultra
Pac-man
Prince of Persia
Robotron: 2084
Small Arms

Castlevania: SOTN
Contra
Doom
Double Dragon
Hexic HD
Smash TV
Street Fighter II' HF
TMNT 1989 Arcade
Worms

and soon to have PoP too. I've tried quite a few others but found them all pretty shite tbh. Wish I hadn't got Worms either. Played it for the 200 and haven't touched it since as its a pretty dissappointing set as is, and all the extras you can buy should have been included from the off, or free later. Bit of a disgrace that imo and I'll be wary of any Team 17 output in the future the greedy basts.

Doom is champs though, and some serious value. Shame the mp is nearly always dead.

I've got over 30, which worryingly must amount to about £120ish, and I've not bought any for about a month. Too lazy to type up a list

Not many for me

Pac-Man
Ms Pac-Man
Pac-Man CE
Gauntlet
Hexic
Geometry Wars
TMNT
Double Dragon

Think that's it. Most of them are a bit pricy for what they are imo. Can't wait for Space Giraffe though!

I've got about 36 but maybe 6 or so are trials - Jesus I didn't realise it equated to that much money ><

No complaints from me about Worms - Just play ranked online Wheela it's great fun !!!

Not many for me but I play all of them fairly often. I'm not much of an impulse purchaser and usually consider strongly how much value I'll get before buying DLC.

Pac-Man C.E.
Geometry Wars Evolved
Worms
DOOM
Street Fighter II' HF
Texas Hold'em (Free)

I enjoyed playing it multiplayer.

I thoroughly enjoyed Small Arms, thought it was great!

I'm another who seldom buys on impulse and carefully considers whether I'm likely to play something enough to make it a worthwhile purchase. I'm also very underwhelmed with the service, believing that 95% of what's been released is rubbish, hence just the 8 downloads (4 of which were free).

Geometry Wars
Jetpac Refuelled
Aegis Wing (free)
Streetfighter II
Robotron 2084 (free)
Castelvania SOTN
Texas Hold'em (free)
UNO (free)

I think there is plenty of variety, but nothing I fancy myself, I kept impulse buying them and then barely playing them.
last one I bought was Castlevania, which I played loads, I really enjoyed that.

Texas hold em - free (however, it can't update and thus doesn't work anymore)
Aegis Wing - Free
Castlevania SoTN (200/200 btw :P)
UMK3
SF2 HF
Contra
Lumines
Double Dragon
Turtles
Doom

Games I regret: Contra, Double Dragon and kind of Lumines for the way it was being available on marketplace. Contra is just a stinker. Double Dragon is ok but bare bones and way inferior to Turtles. I agree most of them aren't actually worth it. Its fake nostalgia and doesn't hold a candle to the real thing. Apart from online play, you'd be better off getting a modded Xbox1 for this stuff.

I thought I had only bought two:

TMNT 1989 Arcade
Lumines Live!
Uno
Geometry Wars

And then of course the free ones:

Texas Hold ‘em
Hexic

Is Aegis Wing free, or was it for a limited time a la Texas Hold ‘em?

You need to create an American account (which is easily done and very worthwhile) to be able to download Aegis Wing. It's a good little game, 'specially with 3 or 4 players.

Edit: to answer your question, yeah, the game's free.

Hardly any. Decent arcade-y titles are thin on the ground, IMO. Hexic HD is excellent - it's really got that one-more-go aspect. I also enjoyed Lumines, although I found it too hard to really play over and over.

So, to summarise:

Gauntlet
Hexic HD
Lumines


I've played demos of others, but haven't found many to my tastes.

Ah, thank you. Yes, I have a US account; I’ll give it a go tonight.

I've played demos of others, but haven't found many to my tastes.

I’ve played most of the trials and to be honest thoroughly enjoyed the majority. I just can’t seem to justify the purchase, mainly due to time constraints. The trials in that respect are quite nice for a quick gaming fix.

Hexic HD
Texas Hold Em
Uno
Worms

Worms is the only one I've paid for, I just feel so many are overpriced. If you check my profile you'll see I've trialed a lot of the games and I would probably grab Pac-Man CE and Pinball at 400pts.

The 1300pts left in my account are waiting for SWOS.

I really do wish Doom was played online a lot more though, played that game non stop when it was released, my dad was even impressed with it (he hates consoles). But it just had too many problems (ranked multiplayer being infinite, scoreboard would never update, hardly ever last more than 5 minutes).

Its only infinite if you set the time to infinite....which is harsh admitedly as it never ends and when you quit out you get 0 kills on your scoreboard! Scoreboard updated fime for me though, got my 200 kills achievement.

If you want some games drop me a line sometime. I've got 2 mates on my friend list who like me moan about never getting games on. We could set up a foursome for some serious love.

Aye Strider, and you're top on all of friends leaderboards. Either you're amazing or my friends are shit.....

I've only got Uno, Hexic and Street Fighter. I rarely buy them as I find they are a ripoff. Been quite interested in Geo Wars, but I imagine as soon as I buy it, they will release an new one or somesuchbollocks.

Charlie

Geo Wars is brilliant and without a shadow of a doubt the best thing on Live Arcade. At 400 points it's a steal, and without going over the top I'd have happily paid 2,400 points for it and not felt short-changed. It's as pure a shoot 'em up as you'll find anywhere.
