In order to get games you need to purchase them with Microsoft Points. Games cost anywhere from 400 to 1600 points with the majority selling for less than 800. These games are usually takes on if not direct ports of classic titles that most gamers would be familiar with. In general the games are not meant to be geared towards hard core gamer types, but rather are built to be enjoyable for the more casual gamer types. There are many fun games you can get through Xbox 360 live arcade, but I am going to talk about some of my personal favorites.

First up on my list is Doom. Doom was made available to Xbox 360 live arcade on September 27th 2006. This was one of my favorite games when it came it out and it is still loads of fun today. Blast demons and go on a killing spree in the classic multi player first person shooter. This game literally defined an entire genre and generation of games that came after it. I still find it to be challenging enough and the replay value on it is really high.

Next up on my nostalgia list is cooperative play Defender. This with Dig Dug, Double Dragon, and really any of the Coin-Op classics bring me back to my early gamer days. And original and true side scroller spaceship game this game is seriously as addictive now as it was then. I find myself flying and shooting for hours when the challenges and complexities of the modern games get to be too much.

The last one up is Buku Sudoku. This game offers 360 variations of the traditional Sudoku puzzle and gives me hours of puzzle fun. A true thinking man’s game this one will again keep me busy for hours on end as I try to get through the different maze of puzzles.

All of these games are great fun and you should check them out.
