Still deciding whether to get the full game. If it was 800 points would already have it but everyone keeps saying its so short which is putting me off at 1200 points. Main sticking point is how replay-able it is, what has everyone else found?

If you buy 3 of these "summer of arcade" games for 1200 MS by end of august will give you 400 pts back by end of september.

Hydro Thunder, CAsltevania, Limbo, Tomb Raider... picking 3 you like should be easy.

Thats the thing which I brought up in an earlier post, Im not a big arcade person (put it this way, I only have 1 other arcade game). I will be getting one at the most, which would have to be my favourite.

Heres how I rate them:

1. Limbo

2. Lara Croft and the Guardian of Light

3. Castlevania

4. Hydro Thunder Hurricane

5. Monday Night Combat

In fact, the bottom two games probably sum up why I dont really do arcade games, they just dont appeal to me. Limbo is one of a very small selection that does.

I think the bottom 2 are safe bets to be fun games, but nothing special.

Tomb Raider and Castlevania have awesome potential...but can also end up being really bad. Like TMNT last year...

Limbo is the only game which has the "must play" seal of approval. Which is a shame considering that Summer of Arcade of 2008 had Geometry wars, Castle crashers and Braid, all of which are "must plays".
