Top 5 Xbox Live Arcade Games

Microsoft has done a really good job with the Xbox Live Arcade network that they’ve setup, giving gamers a chance to download some retro/arcade games for their Xbox 360, at a pretty reasonable price. You can download a demo for any of these arcade games within minutes, and if you like what you see, you can buy it using your Microsoft Points. Here are a few games that are worth your money and bandwidth:

Geometry Wars: Retro Evolved


Geometry Wars made its debut as a mini-game that was bundled with Project Gotham Racing 2 for the Xbox. The game did so well that its developer, Bizarre Creations decided to make a stand-alone high-definition version of it, for the Xbox Live Arcade. The game is quite simple to pickup, as it requires you to use your controller’s analog sticks only, where your left analog stick is used to move, and the right stick is used to shoot. This game is just hours and hours of mindless fun, and priced at just 400 Microsoft Points (Approx. $5 USD or Rs. 225), it’s a steal.

Uno


Uno is the kind of game that most people from the late 20th century have enjoyed at some point of time. This Xbox Live Arcade title is just like the real thing, so if you missed this crazy-ass card game, here’s your chance to play it. This game is easy to pickup for anyone, and it has 4 player online support, so you can play it with your friends over the Xbox Live network. I really loved the original game, so this was a perfect buy for me. The game costs as much as a deck of Uno cards, so it’s pretty reasonably priced at 400 Microsoft Points (Approx. $5 USD, Rs. 225).
