Recommend an Xbox Live game

[WorldCritic]

So after two years of letting my Xbox Live account go to waste I finally decided to start checking out some of the downloadable games on there. Problem is I don't know what stuff is good or fun, so can you guys tell me what games from either the XBLA or Xbox Classics you think are good?

Castle Crashers is good for a while, but ran its course a little too quick for me.
Scott Pilgrim vs. The World: The Game has the same problem, but it's still pretty good.
I like Plants vs. Zombies too, but wouldn't recommend it if you're a busy person. Seriously, addictive as hell.

Limbo is excellent, if a little short. Battlefield 1943 is one you should definitely download if you're into the FPS genre and I'd recommend Shadow Complex for a definite download too. Worms 2: Armageddon is a whole lot of fun for a while aswell. Although to be honest the best thing to do is download trial versions of XBLA games to see if they're worth a download for you or not.

For Xbox Classics I've downloaded Black, Destroy All Humans!, Max Payne, Burnout 3 and GTA:San Andreas and they're all just as good now as when they came out a few years ago.

Go for 'Splosion Man. Its old now but still worth it.

Aside from that Case Zero might be good for you, as could Plants VS Zombies.

Death Spank, Scott Pilgrim, Super Meat Boy.

Plants vs. Zombies is a WINNER.

Grab a couple of friends and play Castle Crashers for button-mashing goodness.

i recently tried the Costume quest, for what it is it's not to bad. You fight foes to gain levels and earn battle badges to gain extra power while you trick or treat to get candy (game currency) You can beat it in a day and it has several costumes to choose by days end. The game caps out at level 10 though.

Castle Crashers: Fun game if you have some friends. Best part is that your saved game is attached to your profile so you can go to a friend's house and keep your knights!

Shadow Complex: I've heard nothing but good things.

Costume Quest: It's splendidly childish. Also, it has a rainbow unicorn. How can it not be awesome?

Monday Night Combat: Really fun game. If you like TF2, you'll like this.

Well I'll be honest with you, I only have two XBLA games. Shadow Complex and Braid.

Shadow Complex is awesome, and Braid is a good buy if it goes for 800 MS points now.

If you like sci fi alien games Alien Breed was good for a while also its great for when you got friends over for co-op.
That or go for some Monday night combat.
