Uhm... you know all the arcade games in XBLA have demos you try first right?

Yea I was just adding a starting groud for the following suggestions though.

 

[Hitisanta]

You should check out Scott Pilgrim the game, it costs 800 ms points, it is awsome if you have sen the movie, read the comics, like retro kinds of games or simpely enjoy games

 

[TrevHead]

If youre into skill based challenge gaming try these

You can get Nin2Jump for 400, worth getting if you like N+ or Supermeatboy

Guwange or Trouble Witches Neo! been true arcade coin-op ports they are alot of fun if you play for score or try to beat it without using continues.

Ace Combat 6 Idolm@ster skin:

Get Vampire Smiles. It's over all better than Dead Samurai(though they are both great). And it seems to be the best game you can get for 800 points.

 

[retterkl]

I think Limbo is exactly 800 MS points, so really get that. Get something 800 exactly, you don't want an awkward amount left you can't spend on anything.

 

[psicat]

Get Vampire Smiles, Beyond Good And Evil HD, or Monkey Island: SE.

 

[dibblywibbles]

grab contra and super C.... or rocket riot!

What?!? F*cking heresy! Well I've just checked for you and Doom 2 is still there. I can recommend the XBLA version of Doom 2, id added a new chapter as an XBLA exclusive so even if you're a seasoned Doom 2 player there's new content there.

Ive never played Doom though. Will it matter?

Short answer: No.

Long answer: No, the 'story' [small]*stifled laughter*[/small] in the Doom games is minimal.

Plot of 1: You're on Mars. There are demons everywhere. Kill them.
Plot of 2: You've arrived back on Earth from Mars. There are demons everywhere. Kill them.

I'm not even joking. The storyline (such as it was) was never really developed in game apart from a paragraph of text between chapters. It's just arcade shooting fun - get stuck in.

pacman dx is pretty awesome if you like pacman. :]

If you want your 800 points to last you a while, get a great action-adventure game CLASSIC that has enough variety to shame most games and was forgotten by most people back in 2003. I bought it with my 800 points, loving it a second time.

Support it so we can get the sequel!

 

[Gigaguy64]

If you like Classic Top Down Shooters with awesome music, sweet weapon choices, and a fun and difficult style then Strania:The Stella Machine is for you OP.
Its freaking good.

 

[MetalDooley]

Get yourself another 400 points and buy Shadow Complex.Best arcade game on XBLA by far

Otherwise..hmm..Rush N'Attack:Ex Patriot was pretty good for 800

I heard beyond good and evil is good but people are also telling me to get shadow complex and psychonauts.

 

[Nautical Honors Society]

I recall psychonauts being pretty cheap.

Here's the thing I own the disc for psychonauts and I beat it up to the meat level but then I moved and lost the discs. I'm just worried I'll buy psychonauts and then find the discs somewhere. I'd be beating myself up for wasting money.
