Xbox Live Arcade - Anything worth buying?

[CypherP]

I came home from a wedding yesterday and having been an Usher, was absolutely shattered from 48 hours of organising, drinking, smoking and total (worthwhile) lack of sleep.

I thoughtlessly added 2000 MS points to my account and sat for over an hour trawling the Arcade categories, eventually going through one by one alphabetically. However, I wasn't able to find anything I really wanted to buy.

Thought I had a good deal when I downloaded Pinball FX2 with the price as 'FREE', only to find upon loading that I then had to buy the different table packs and gave up as had already trialled it and only downloaded as I wanted it for nothing.

Therefore, persistent gamers of PH, please recommend me some interesting arcade titles with at least a few weeks of playability. I've got through Trials HD and Texas Hold'em, but game genre isn't a big deal. I just need something I can occasionally play and enjoy (at least til the end of the year when BF3 will keep me occupied).

You need to get a game called Limbo.

It's a little bit dark and weird but it has an interactive enviorment which is what you have to use to complete the levels etc, won lots of gaming awards IIRC definitely worth a punt.

Scott Pilgrims good and also Trials HD is amazing. Braid is really good but very hard I thought. I bought the X-Men game recently and had a great laugh with an old friend on it with a few beers.
