Then you need to download Metal Slug 3.

Maybe it's just nostalgia, as I can remember pumping tons of quarters into the NeoGeo machine at 7/11, but I love this game.

Oh, and Alien Hominid.

I've had hours of fun on Pool, Pinball, Mr AND Mrs Pacman...

Whatchu talkin' bout, oxford?

Pinball FX, good call on that one.

I've never found a pool game I've enjoyed. None of them ever come close enough to playing on a real table, which is something I enjoy tremendously.

Have you played the XBLA arcade pool game? If you haven't, I suggest you do. It's the most realistic pool game Ive ever played, it's tons of fun. When I feel like playing a real game, I hop on that.

Worms is pretty fun to me.

Omega 5. Nice Japanese style Side Scroller, but sadly with no online Multiplayer Co-Op. Great Graphics, probably the best on the XBLA to date. Not that easy either.

I'm pretty sure I have. As I said, it's just not the same for me.

It is sad to see some of the greediness from some members. Microsoft is a business. Business' key goals are to keep consumers happy and make money! By offering you a game of choice from the XBLA, they in turn, are keeping their customers satisfied for an inconvenience and losing money. Is 5-10 dollars a lot of money, no, but name other companies who have done this to a mass quantity of customers.

This is also a company that has openly admitted that there was a flaw with their consoles and has stood by their consumers and offering free shipping and free repairs! Try calling Sony and asking them to pay for your product repair and shipping. I bet the person on the other end of the line will laugh until you fall asleep! If you are not satisfied with what Microsoft is offering, just ignore the offer and go on playing your 360. I think what they are offering is a fantastic marketing move and a demonstration of their loyalty to their fans!

I guess what I am trying to say is, Microsoft has gone above and beyond their call of duty to keep people happy through these minor inconveniences. Just remember that when somethig breaks. Microsoft at least protected their fans. Numerous other companies would tell you that you are screwed.

Anyone here heard anymore on the subject since the stupid $5 million lawsuit (on behalf of all us distressed live users)? They haven't been able to talk about anything for a while now.

ive worked a customer service job and honestly i dont get why ppl are so upset about small outages. you pay 50 dollars for one whole year, and u loose it on and off for 2 weeks and every body wants more compensation than a 8 dollar arcade title that they dont even have to give you. i mean, you only lost about $1.42, you spend more than that on a 20 oz coke, whats all the bitchin for?

and by the way, uno and Castlevania:symphony of the night are the best live games ever, shame to the man who said arcade titles suck.
