Technically it's not an XBLA game, but I highly recommend Sequence on the Xbox Live Indie Games channel. It's apparently sold less than 1000 copies since release, which is a crying shame since it's got the quality of an XBLA title behind it, even if it does have a slightly home grown look to it.

Download the trial at least, I'm sure a lot of folks here would enjoy it - for £2 odd, it's a genuine bargain.

As for Gatling Gears - I liked the look of it, but the demo didn't sell me on it.

It's definitely one for the sales. The bad outweighs the good by a pretty big margin based on the trial.

Did you complete the trial?

It definitely takes some getting used to, but I really don't get the hostility towards it.

I think 95% of my XBLA purchases have been sale only, World of Keflings was the last game I purchased outside of a sale when released.

I didn't. I accept it might be one of those games that needs more than a trial to be fully appreciated (there certainly have been more than a few recently), which is why I haven't deleted the trial in the hopes of it appearing in a sale soon but there's no way I'd drop full price for it based on the trial.

Same here, although I am still buying a few on release day, I have become considerably more picky and have started to wait for titles I'd otherwise buy on day one to go on sale.

DR: Case WEST and Raskulls being the most recent examples. :unsure:

I'm thoroughly enjoying Gatling Gears. Sure, it's repetitve and doesn't do anything remotely new or innovative, but it's really fun and satisfying to play. The weapons are especially awesome! Plus it's so perty!

Eurogamer slated it. Pfft! What do they know? :coffee:

The trial is actually quite long (as trials go).

Like I said, I haven't bought it yet myself, but thats more a function of having too many other games I haven't played on XBLA than anything else.

I could understand the reluctance to get it full price if it was 1200, but at 800 MS Points it looks like pretty good value already to me.

I'd definitely recommend going back and finishing off the trial at least.

MK: Arcade Kollection announced.

"For the first time ever, the original Mortal Kombat arcade trilogy - Mortal Kombat, Mortal Kombat 2 and Ultimate Mortal Kombat 3 - have been brought together into a single collection which will be available for download in late summer 2011," the publisher said.

"We are very excited to finally have the first three Mortal Kombat games available in one download package for long-time and new fans to play," said Ed Boon, creative director, NetherRealm Studios. "With the release of our 2011 Mortal Kombat, and its return to 2D game play, players have been asking for these classic titles and we are happy to deliver them."

Mortal Kombat Arcade Kollection is developed by Other Ocean in conjunction with NetherRealm studios. It features online play, leaderboards, achievements and trophies.

The "arcade- perfect port" costs 800 Microsoft points or £6.29 on the PlayStation Network or PC.

Well it's good that they waited until after 9 came out before releasing the MK collection as playing those games would probably have soured a lot of people on the idea of buying the new (good) one.

UMK3 was the best fighting game for 16 bit consoles. Fact.

Yeah, I really didn't like Braid. Found it to be dull and ugly...I know you aren't really allowed to say that, but there it is.

Winterbottom on the other hand is brilliant, really fun and just the right amount of challenging with a great (not up its own arse) story and tonnes of charm. Also has absolutely the best XBLA trial of any game ever.

A game based on Saber Rider? Weird choice, that.

Is it just me or do all the games that Sarge (gawd bless 'im) linked to look well mediocre? Ms. Splosion Man looks alright but there's really not much I'm hyped for at the moment.
