Xbox Live Arcade

[ProfessorLayton]

So the other day, I bought a 1600 Microsoft point card so I could buy the Zombie Island of Dr. Ned DLC for Borderlands (which is excellent, by the way) and it was only 800 points. Now I'm left over with 800 Microsoft points and I don't know what to do. That's where you come in.

See, it's rather hard to find good Arcade game reviews, I'm not sure which 800 point games are worth my money. I would like to know about some 800 points or less Arcade games that are actually worth my time. Another thing is that Live is doing a different sale every day for the rest of the month and they might do sales on a game that I would want like Call of Duty Classic or Shadow Complex which are 1200 points right now but a sale could bring them into reach.

So I want to know of a good game for under 800 points.

Gunstar Heroes. 400 points.

Give it a chance! Think Metal Slug and Contra, but not as freaking hard. And with the ability to combine 4 types of guns. To create about a dozen totally different weapons.

It's the most under-rated Genesis game of all time. Now with online co-op, and the basic local co-op. And the ability to save at anytime. Which is good, because you can only use level select for 4 of the 7 stages.

Dam! I wanted to say Castle Crashers. Get Assualt Heroes or Portal. AH is a godly game. Or simply get Geometry Wars. Its a perfect way to train your aiming with console shooters.
