I finally grabbed my first non-free live game: Mr Driller. Probably gonna get TMNT the Arcade Game, too. What else out there is good?
Fryza 05:08 PM 04-05-2008
Worms, Bomberman Live, Arkadian Warriors, and UMKIII are all good.
Paperboy is fun as well.
tmnt is a must
umk3 is good
superstreetfighter2turbodeluxehyperfightinghighdefinitionremix when it comes out
U-Warrior 05:34 PM 04-05-2008
Bomberman Live is fantastic multiplayer fun.
Castlevania SOTN, Assault heroes, Geometry Wars, Pacman CE, mad tracks
Kane Knight 07:07 PM 04-05-2008
I picked up Geometry Wars after remembering it. What's UMKIII?
U-Warrior 08:22 PM 04-05-2008
ultimate mortal kombat 3.
You want my advice? Skip it and wait for super street fighter II HD
Kane Knight 09:41 PM 04-05-2008
Yeah, I don't like the Mortal Kombat games.
I'm not sure I'll grab SSF2HD either, but it's more because I'm not sure I could play the retro shit after playing the more recent games.
Geometry Wars is the shit, though.
Funky Fly 12:34 AM 04-06-2008
What's so special about this new SFIIHD ish? New graphics? I mean, I already have SF Anniversary Collection (SFIII 3rd Strike and Hyper SFII) and Capcom Classics Collection 1 and 2, so that's like 50 versions of SFII between the 3 of them.
And to answer the title, I have Double Dragon, Assault Heroes and TMNT Arcade. Pretty sexy games.
But you could always just d/l the demos to see if you like them.
U-Warrior 12:50 AM 04-06-2008
Udon, The people who draw the current comic series, are redoing all the sprites and backgrounds. They aren't adding anything to the backgrounds, just spiffying them up. But the character models look damn good.
Funky Fly 01:17 AM 04-06-2008
Oh, then I'll probably be good without it then.
OssMan 02:50 AM 04-06-2008
Smash TV
dablackguy 11:13 AM 04-08-2008
Double Dragon as funky said
I'd recommend Doom, Bomberman, Tetris Splash, (for online because the single player game is thin)
Oh and if you like and remember marble insanity...errr Marble Madness, check out Ultra Marble Blast
Mr. Monday Morning 11:57 AM 04-08-2008
If you want more recent stuff check out the demos for Poker Smash, N+, Rez HD and Lumines Live. Ikaruga is meant to be out tomorrow too, if you like top-down shooters.
Kane Knight 12:57 PM 04-08-2008
Oh God, I forgot about Ikaruga.
Kane Knight 01:01 PM 04-08-2008
Which does not appear to be up.
Funky Fly 11:02 PM 04-10-2008
Oh yeah, that N+ is kinda sexy. Been wanting to demo that Ikaruga too.
Kane Knight 12:52 PM 04-11-2008
What's N+?
Ikaruga is almost as awesome as I remember. The only shitty thing is you can't rotate the controls along with the screen.
#BROKEN Hasney 01:50 PM 04-11-2008
Small Arms is a hectic 2D shooter/platformer and is pretty fun
Bomberman Live!
Rez HD
Exit and Lumines, as long as you don't have them for PSP
Puzzle Quest (which is out on every format ever concieved)

It's this deceptively simple game where you are a ninja and you have to get from the beginning of the room to the door switch, open the door and exit through the door. The catch is that you have to use all your ninja moves to get through the room, which is full of gaps, ledges and traps.
d/l the demo
D Mac 01:16 AM 04-12-2008
You like Pinball? Because Pinball Fx is pretty cool.
Kane Knight 07:33 AM 04-12-2008
I'll DL N+. Pretty sure I have a demo of the Pinball game already, so I'll play it.
U-Warrior 08:27 AM 04-12-2008
Downloaded the demo of Ikaruga.
I fancy myself as fairly good at top down shooters.
It kicked my ass on easy.
Kane Knight 08:33 AM 04-12-2008
I suck at top down shooters, so it's no surprise I got nuked shortly into the second level.
U-Warrior 09:59 AM 04-13-2008
K, so I had no idea about the polorization thing when playing the demo.
Bought it, and even though i did better, i still died on level 2.
Fuck's sake this game is gonna be my nemesis.

Dude, wait til you get further into the second level. Its insane. Didn't get to the boss, but could tell i was close.

For the record, I beat the game on the Gamecube version. It's insane, but mad fun. It took me forever to get good at it once, though, and it's gonna take me forever to get good at it again I bet. But it's SO fun.
Kane Knight 09:50 PM 04-14-2008
I liked N+ so much, I unlocked the demo today.
U-Warrior 12:02 AM 04-15-2008
Fucking Ikaruga.
A good strategy for shooters is not to think. Just react. Because most of them just throw a ton of shit at you and say "GOOD LUCK, FUCKER!". I f you put yourself in the zone, you'll do better than if you're thinking about each move.
But not I karuga. Nooooooooooooooooooo. Those fuckers put shit in your way that FORCE you think, breaking you out of your trance. And you only got a split second to think of how do get past it before you are overwhelmed.
Fuckers.
Love this game.
Funky Fly 04:22 AM 04-15-2008
I'm a go get some more MS points and get to getting N+ and Castlevania. So many awesome games in the arcade, but I'm broke as a joke.
SOMEBODY GIMME A JOB

I'm assuming you haven't even thought about scoring techniques yet.

I just dropped 30 bucks on Samurai Warriors 2 XL and it doesn't even work.
Anathema 02:10 PM 04-15-2008
geometry wars kicks ass
Kane Knight 02:57 PM 04-15-2008
It does indeed.
Funky Fly 06:25 PM 04-15-2008
Geometry Wars' menu screen is seizurific.
Kane Knight 06:49 PM 04-15-2008
Not to mention when you get past like 100,000, the entire screen is like anime. Colourful and will turn you into an epileptic in 2.9 seconds.
