Dungeons & Dragons: Chronicles of Mystara. Shadow over Mystara is the best 2D beat'em up ever made.

Battlefield 1942 is probably the best online shooter on the console in my opinion.


It's actually Battlefield 1943. :P

Also, giving a nod towards Defense Grid.


Definitely a must get

damn you guys now you reminded me all the games I did say I would play eventually this will add up a tremendous amount of games on my already never ending retail backlog list....
I'm the first one to want to jump in the new gen but damn that gen could have lasted at least 5 more years I would still have games to play....

Thanks guys. My X360 won't be so jealous of my X1 in the coming months after all.

There's a lot lol. My personal top 10 would be Bastion, Walking Dead, Trials Evolution, Shadow Complex, ilomilo, Castle Crashers, Beyond Good&Evil, Dust, Limbo, A World of Kelfing(Was free). Btw, check out Ascend; F2P game that's pretty good.

Most of these games I bought when they were on sale at one point, like I do with most xbla games, but I would have paid full in a heart beat for any of those

I bought Kingdom of Keflings, World of Keflings, and all of the DLC.  I LOVED those games.  They looked like crap but boy were they addictive--especially with multi-player.

I downloaded Small Arms, State of Decay, Splosion Man, Iron Brigade, Mark of the Ninja, etc...

All high quality games that go under the radar of most gamers and all(?) of them were churned at MS Studios. Props to them.

Taking notes, you guys play those games...
Well, I barely read those games mentioned around here, I assumed I was one of the few here that play Arcade games.
They're also a reason for me to be speechless when they say MS doesn't support 360. MS Studios has launched dozens (more) of games from 2010 till now.




You know MS only published these games, since the devs not allowed to self publish on XBLA. 

Not only that, MS Studios has the most Arcade games on XBLA.

MS chose to go that route to keep trashware out of XBLA.

However XBL Indy is for anybody and look how much trash it got.

And still it supports little dev teams more than Sony and Nintendo put together.

Super Meat Boy. It is the best game I have ever played for any system. Also, Shadow Complex.

Sorry but this is bullshit.  They can deny the right to publish on XBLA without banning self publishing, that trashware stuff is 100% nonsense.  MS published does not make something a MS studios game.

Have you ever heard of Killer Instinct made by DH?
You're reaching nonsense to to spout hate. You're always up for some rubbish.

Oh Killer Instinct is the XBox 360 now is it?  No it isn't.
