link - No. No 360 game has any sort of mandatory installations, or memory-consuming requirements. Some games will run better with HDDs, due to data caching (not to be confused with installs), but it doesn't prevent you from playing any games.
100% of games work with the Arcade. The only questionable area would be online multiplayer.
The only installations available are the optional ones that allow you to copy the entire game to the HDD for massive performance increases...But to stress it: Their 100% optional.
Back from the dead, I'm afraid.
