So many great XBLA games coming out in such a small period of time. Man, I really need some more Microsoft Points... or a life.

What else do you recommend on XBLA? Braid is the first title I've downloaded.

Geometry Wars 2 was recently released. It's an addictive, old-school arena shooter (think Space Invaders from all angles) with a variety of game modes.

Bionic Commando Rearmed comes out Wednesday and it looks quite promising. It's a greatly enhanced remake of the Bionic Commando title for the NES with added co-op and deathmatch modes.

Also, Alien Hominid HD is well worth checking out. It plays a lot like Metal Slug and it's quite a bit of fun.

Metal Slug is not as good as the PS2 collection, which is an awesome $20 bucks spent.

I got the Metal Slug Anthlogy for the Wii. Aside from having to shake the contronller for grenades, it's not bad at all. It's games 1-8, and Metal Slug X.

REZ HD: If you are into a LSD/ACID game this is worth the 800 points.
Puzzle Quest: Challenge of the Warlords: Get the original game it is the best version of the game so far. Hours of addicting content if you like bejeweled. It is 1200 points.
Castlevania: Symphony of the Night: One of the best platformers ever. If you like Castlevainia you will like this game for 800 points.
Ikaruga: One of the best shotem up games forgotten on the Gamecube now for 800 points.
UNO: Shit people like to play Uno for 400 points costs less than a deck and you will almost always have players.

I could just keep going.

Its not really worth it since Soul Caliber 4 came out. I will say I missed out in saying Ultimate Mortal Combat 3 is the shit, Street Fighter 2 (soon to be replaced by HD remix later this year) if you like classic Street Fighter. I am waiting with batted breath for Street Fighter 4 and a possible fight stick bundle back for the 360.

It wasn't a bad game just greatly over rated. I have a friend who compares it to Psychonauts and Beyond Good And Evil. In the sense its an amazing game that will never get truely recognized

I played it for a little while but found it incredibly frustrating, I just could'nt be bothered with it.
