What Should I Buy With 1200 MS Points??

I Currently have Castle Crashers(FAV XBLA GAME!!!), Worms(Old Fast Needs More Weps), Warlords(Soo Underrated), Pac-man(Sweet Oldschool Classic) and the free games, i want something that is challenging and fun and maybe has people playing it online, something replayable. N+ trial was fun

I Have 1200 points (Actually 1210 points lol) and i want to just use it up already but i dont want to make a mistake try to tell me a 1200 point game or a 800 point game and a 400 point game, heck if you want suggest a xbox original

Thanks In Advance!!!

Based on what you've played,

Based on what you've played, I'd go with Pac-Man Championship edition and TMNT

Buy N+ or Geometry Wars 2

Buy N+ or Geometry Wars 2 (both are 800 a piece) and Marble Blast Ultra (400 pts). N+ has loads of levels plus you can create your own and play them in co-op/versus with 4 players online or locally- huge replay value. Geometry Wars 2 is just plain addicting and has 6 different modes, each of them fun in their own way. Also you can even play all of them in local co op or versus (4P multiplayer). Marble Blast is an absolute STEAL at 400 points. This game is amazing and many people bought it for 800 but since dropped in price due to the XBLA Greatest Hits program. There's no excuse for not picking this up!

Trust me! I own EVERY full XBLA game (check my gamertag: K4rn4ge) and I have got to say that N+, Geometry Wars 2, and Marble Blast Ultra are part of my top 5 favorite arcade games... and that is out of 160+ of them!

I'd agree 2/3rds with the post above me. Geometry Wars 2 and Marble Blast Ultra are definitely two of my fave xbla games. So much playability. Watching mad time attacks online of MBU levels is also a hoot... or at least trying to reproduce them is :) Which is totally doable, and opens up a whole new feel to it. GW2 is also great - finely tuned shooting, with great variation, quickly advancing scores and skills required, always fair, pretty much never frustrating.

Two absolute classics. Oh, and MBU is said to be receiving an update soon.

Not fussed about N+ myself, but I'd also like to throw in Braid to think about. Slower and more relaxed than the others, but wonderfully designed.

Looks like he went with N+ and Marble Blast Ultra. Certainly can't blame him, both are fantastic

Pac-man C.E. is a definite option for you (since you like pac-man) but Braid is a wonderful (albeit short if you're into puzzle games) break from the rest of the crazy action.

If you have a steady partner, Cloning Clyde and Schiziod are great in Co-op.

Of course, everything I'm suggesting is in the 800 MSP range...so I'm probably no help at all. LOL.

At 400 MSP, Marble Blast Ultra and Assault Heroes are both a steal (though Assault Heroes is fine solo, but better in coop).

Can you tell I have too many "favorites" amongst the XBLA list. (^_^)

If you're looking for a challenge Eets: Chowdown has some of the best puzzles I've played.

Braid is another one that I'd recommend checking out.
