on a whim i decided id purchase geometry wars. im usually not into the 'beat the highscore and keep going' type of game or the type of game that usually involves so much agility in the way its required for this. but last night i played it for around 2-3 hours solid and i wonder how ive lived without it :p

is there any other games that are on the same level of greatness?

my favorite online Arcade game, is Small Arms :) It's lovely online, once you've figured out how to use the different characters etc.

I would play Zuma but I certainly wouldn't pay for it. I can't imagine playing any of the current arcade games for more than an hour.

I find myself playing Uno some of the time though, it came with the camera.

she's not actually. The sword is crap unless you're very close to the enemies :)

My girlfriend loves the puzzle games and games such as Zuma etc.

I was happy to see Double Dragon making its way to the 360.

I am waiting for Worms, I can't wait to cluster grenade and prod my enemies to their death.

I wish they would bring that Hogs of War game from the PS1 to the Arcade, that game was awesome.

I remember a game for the Megadrive called Generals or something multiplayer was a blast.

Each person had 4 or 5 army men hand you had to go around killing each other was really fun back then.

aye but isnt that only a demo? ;)

or at the very least, not an unlimited timed version.

i did discover evolved on PGR3 and im sure it wasnt the full version.

if its PGR2, well i donated that and many other games when my dad bought an xbox :)
