They're in the XBL Arcade, aren't they? :p You asked us to give you ideas for Arcade games that were fun to play and nobody can deny the classics.

Geometry Wars: Retro Evolved - I actually haven't played the second one, but it looks like the same thing with more features.

you should use the demos to find out what one you like the best.

The cool thing about the new game is there are 6 different game types including a level progression mode (which I am yet to beat after owning the game for more than a month). And now you can play with up to 4 people on the same xbox. Either coop, teams, or ffa with all the different game types. But the only shitty thing is no multiplayer over xbl.

Oh snap, just remembered the very addictive, yet easy to learn Carcassonne.

I have that one as well, it's made by the same company that made settlers of catan. I played the actual board game carcassonne all the time with my family, it a lot of fun but still can get very competitive.

Do you remember how many points it costs?

Also can you play it on XBL?

I got it when it was free for a weekend, so I can't tell you how many points but I do know that it's both co-op and competitive on XBL.

Do you mean that you could only play it that weekend, or you downloaded it on that weekend and now you can play it anytime?

It was free for download that weekend, meaning you downloaded it then and you could play the extended version anytime. I cannot remember what they were promoting/fixing but I remember my friend saying "Get this game today while it's still free!" and nobody can pass up a free game... ;)
