Whats you favourite XBLA game to date and why?

Hi guys, just wondering what your favourite XBLA game is out of the selection that is available at the moment and why. I have to say that Hexic HD is my fav closely followed Zuma and UNO. Im yet to play Streetfighter 2 though so that may change.

I just love puzzle/tetris style games, and the addition of a worldwide leaderboard inspires me to keep playing, not that I'm very good.

For originality: Cloning Clyde (yes it's a platformer but the cloning thing is neat and well-executed)
For playability: Geometry Wars
For overall slickness: UNO (much better card-playing interface than the crap Hardwood games, please let poker play as well)

Geometry Wars. It's a contender for best game on the console, period.

Shoot me down if you like, but I stand by that.

It's a tossup because I love geometry wars and i like uno, now you would think that because of that i would pick geometry wars..but the thing is i suck at geonmetry wars and i get really lucky in uno

so too hard to pick lol

It's hard to pick a favourite.

I love Geometry Wars, UNO and Hexic.

Galaga is good, but I finished all 12 achievements in one night! (As proof: http://www.360voice.com/blog.asp?tag=Chris%20Benoit23)

Considering buying Frogger, but the Demo really annoyed me because I kept on dieing! Stupid frogs.

EDIT: Bought Frogger yeserday, and as much as it's p***ing me off, I'm really enjoying it.

In no particular order:
- Geo Wars (sheer mayhem for 5 bucks)
- Mutant Storm (great graphics, sound and gameplay for a XBLA launch game)
- Cloning Clyde (originality, style, gameplay)

Geometry Wars, followed by zuma. I finished cloning clyde but found it borrowing and repetative. it didn't add enough to the mix, cloning into things was neat but didn't open up that many puzzle solutions, usually you just needed to swim, blow open a door, or jump higher or further.

SF2 is cool and all, I haven't tried it online, but it will only become my most played arcade game if I can get some friends onboard so I can play against them on live.

My Most anticipated games in some sort of order are:

Small Arms
Castle Crashers
Roboblitz
Heavy Weapon
Mad Tracks
Lumines
Hoopworld

(ie... the Original Titles

)

Geometry Wars
Uno
Marble blast

I'm having a lot of fun with Street Fighter. I like the challenge that it brings and online is fun as well. I expected a lot worse.

jayc · August 4th, 2006, 00:19

I'd have to say it's a tossup between Galaga, Zuma, Hearts, Outpost Kaloki X & Cloning Clyde.

Rival24 · August 4th, 2006, 00:23

Dude, you're joking about Galaga i hope?

Bankshot 2 is fave in my household, with Mrs Jonez being the first one of us to 50 wins¬_¬, but Geo wars is ace for the money as pointed out by Curry tho I havnt got a single acheivement and my highscore is 70000 ish

hexic was a nice freebie when I bought my HDD.
