You probably missed [insert game]

I'm thinking about doing a post for newcomers about games they probably missed during the first year (or so) of XBLA. Games like Wik or Outpost Kaloaki X that didn't get that much attention but were great.

What do you guys think... and what games would you like to see on it?

Outpost Kaloki X is
Outpost Kaloki X is definitely a must-try/must-have, a really deep game with interesting mechanics and very fun to play.


I'm really looking forward to this post because I only got my 360 late last year and would like to know some games I might have missed

I'm a big fan of Jetpac Refueled. And I think its only 400 pts.

The other launch title that doesn't get nearly enough love is Wik. Let me look through my games tonight and I'm sure I'll have a bunch more to add.

I think RoboBlitz would be a good one too as I don't feel that that game got the credit it deserved. It was pretty fun.

and if we look at newer titles... OMG Gripshift is great and NO ONE PLAYS. I looked at the achievements and virtually no one has the online multiplayer achievements.

Oh yeah, Roboblitz for sure. I really enjoyed that game.

I just snagged Pinball FX, and I think it's pretty great. Albeit, it's pretty disappointing that there's only 3 tables (+2 via downloadable content), but the game had potential if there was more meat. Still fun to play.

What's really

What's really cool is the XBLA Unplugged Vol. 1 . You can find them on ebay or in stores, sometimes for under $10! It has Kaloki, Wik, Bejeweled, Texas Hold 'Em, Geo Wars Evolved, and Backgammon, and a few demos. There are a couple other discs, too, like Popcap Arcade Vol. 1 and a compilation disc that comes with the Arcade 360 console, but they might cost you more (and the compilation disc isn't sold in stores).

These are awesome deals that I think newcomers would like to know about. That's my two cents.

Now is the Arcade 360
Now is the Arcade 360 compilation disc full versions of demos. I remember reading people thought they were demos but the box clearly states retail.

I think both Eets and Space
I think both Eets and Space Giraffe needs a push. Especially Space Giraffe. The tutorial is unfortunately a joke, but if you get passed that and learn the game on your own you're in for a real treat. And its just 400 points so everyone should give it a go. And this isn't from a Minter fan at all, this is from someone just like you.

I don't know what it is about Space Giraffe, but I've downloaded (and deleted) the demo three times. For some reason, while I never buy it, I get this urge to try it again and again because something tells me I'm "missing" the point. I'll probably cave and get it one day soon just because it's so damn strange. Oh, and I agree it's no Tempest. I never did like Tempest, but SG actually seems to have potential.

Yeah, it's got 5 full games on it, 'cuz it's what you get when you buy the Arccade 360 Console. There's Uno (I think), Feeding Frenzy, Pac Man: CE, Boom Boom Rocket, and something else. Robotron? I dunno.

Edit: It probably has some demos too. I dunno 'bout that either.
