    Xbox Live Arcade - What's Going On???

    Why has there been so many great titles been announced for this service, yet week after week some unknown rubbish comes out and clogs up the service. With the exception of Castlvania SOTN, there hasn't been anything worth downloading (or the ms points) i hasten to add in ages.

    every week i expect to see something like Fatal Fury Special, Streets Of Rage 2, Super Puzzle Fighter, SSF2 HD Remix, Castle Crashers or something of ilk but it turns out to tat like Pac Man, Xevious or some other Namco/Konami stone age cast-off - now don't get me wrong i like and respect the old games but there's no way there worth ?3.50 or even ?6.80 , i bet these companies are laughing all the way to the bank releasing these games that were bringing in the money up to 25 years ago - which begs the question - do they keep releasing this shovelware because they know thay achievement whores will keep buying them to top up another 200 gamerpoints???

    The last game I bought was Double Dragon. I won't be buying any more. They could have adapted several games like SF2 to 16:9 but didn't bother their arse. Instead they shovel us the same old **** for not very bargain prices.

      Do you really expect a great game to come out once a week costing £3-£7? How often do good full price games come out? Who's going to make them all for that sort of price?

      It doesn't matter if only a few people buy some of them cause like you say, they made them 20 years ago, but it must be making some people happy, and you don't have to buy them!

        SOTN was ****. Since then has been Jetpac, enough for anyone surely?

          Prince of Persia is out next week apparently, and Bomberman after that. I will probably buy both of those.

              I have 36 XBLA titles on my HDD now - about 6 are trials.

              So, I've been having fun with it

              And stay well away from the VC

                    I have just over 20 full arcade titles I think and I haven't bought any just for whoring gamer points. So I've been having fun too.

                      i think the issue is the order stuff comes out in, Microsoft should maybe re-jig the pipeline and try to alternate original stuff with the old ports or remakes.

                      seems like we get a few weeks of new stuff then more recently almost untouched retro more in the VC mould.

                      in general though i love XBLA and hoover up quite a few.
