There are many things that you can do with Xbox 360 live arcade, but the most important thing is that Xbox 360 live arcade is designed to do – get you many games for cheap. Xbox 360 live arcade is a service that Microsoft uses to digitally distribute video games to your Xbox 360. It is included with your Microsoft Xbox 360 Live account.

How Do I Get Xbox 360 Live Arcade Games?

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.

Are you one of the many people out there who are on the hunt for an Xbox 360 Premium system? If so, then you should know that there are a few retailers in particular that you can visit if you want an Xbox 360 Premium system or even the Microsoft Xbox 360 Core system. Of the hundreds out there, here are a few that are definitely worth considering.

Before you go through any retailer to purchase an Xbox 360 Premium system it will be helpful for you to learn more about the video game console and what you are going to get included in your Xbox 360 Premium system package.

You will get the Xbox 360 console which features three powerful core processors that are poised to pack a punch, 20 GB hard drive which is detachable and which allows gamers to store their games, music, downloaded trailers, levels, demos and community-created content from the Xbox Live Marketplace.

You will also get a faceplace, and this removable faceplate comes in a few different stylish colors. There is a headset which will allow you to strategize with teammates or trash talk opponents while playing games on Xbox Live. You even get a Live Silver membership with which you are able to chat with friends online, send and receive voice and text messages, and access new content from Xbox Live Marketplace demos such as trailers and casual games from Xbox Live Arcade.

Walmart

Did you know that Walmart carries the Xbox line, including the Xbox 360 Premium system? If not you do now, and this is one retailer that you are surely going to want to check out for yourself. We all know how great of prices Walmart offers on a regular basis, and the same applies here to the Xbox systems.

The bottom line is that this is a fantastic video game console, one that is definitely worth trying for yourself. Keep in mind that the prices are constantly lowering on older video game consoles as newer versions take their place, and so you can wait even just a few months and the cost will drop dramatically.

You do always have the option of buying the game used, but you have to be very cautious if you decide to go this route because you can never really be too sure of the condition of the game if you are buying it used.
