Best XBLA games for $10?

Closed
Fenrakk101

I'll be without a comp for a week, so it'll be just me and a 360 until then. I'll probably go out and buy Dead Island or something to tide me over, but I randomly have about 900 MSP on my account. Is anything worth the money?

Console exclusives would arguably be ideal, but as those are harder to find I'd rather just not get a game that's been 75% off on Steam (mostly because that means I probably already have it). I'm not really interested in Half-Minute Hero, but other than that everything seems to be in the $15 range :c

Can't remember game prices, but if any of these are options, go for them

Castlevania: Symphony of the Night
Ikaruga
Perfect Dark
Scott Pilgrim vs. the World
Shadow Complex

Have Perfect Dark and Castlevania really aged that well? I never played the originals so I don't really have nostalgia for them.

Castlevania rocks, and what I played of Perfect Dark (which was my first go at it, BTW) was enjoyable. I never played either before getting them on 360.

I played through SotN for the first time a few years back. Timeless classic, in my opinion.

Super Puzzle Fighter doesn't seem to be a game that exists, although if the search feature is to blame I wouldn't be surprised

I think they shorten it to Puzzle Fighter HD

Yup, that's it. I'll blame Bing, since that's apparently what the 360 search feature runs.

It should. I own it myself with several other games in a Capcom collection.

Evolution is $15; is HD worth getting on its own, or if I'm going to get either would I be better off with Evolution?

Evolution has Multiplayer and level builder, so there's a lot of custom tracks to play. I think HD has a level builder too, but not multiplayer as far as I can remember, so I'd go for Evolution.

Toy Soldiers is really fun. It's kind of addicting. I'm not sure how much it is right now, but either one (Toy Soldiers or Cold War) would be good. BF1943 was fun, too, but I don't know if anyone still plays it.

Wow, I completely forgot about that game. I do want it, although since it's on Steam, I'll wait to see if anything else grabs my attention.

There are a few good Konami games (Silent Hill and Metal Gear titles) on the Gold weekly sale for around $10. I picked up Silent Hill: Downpour and am enjoying it so far.

Oh :-/ Sorry man.

Of the recommendations made in this thread, I'd say Castlevania or Shadow Complex are your best bets. Lara Croft and the Guardian of Light is also fantastic; nothing at all like other Tomb Raider titles.
