New Xbox live arcade games for december

Ok, this isn't a troll, just an observation/wish.
Given that MS has downloadable games, and Nintendo plans to (whether they are new or not is another story), I still hope that compilation packages are released on disc. I'm getting worried about games being released ONLY as downloads, and what happens when your system dies, MS/Nintendo cancels the service, or a company pulls a title from the download system.

Congratulations, you really deserve it!
by the way, can you actually use xbox live this time around without a credit card?

That's actually a pretty valid argument. I guess if something happens, then you'll obviously lose the software. Of course, the odds of that MS will suddenly pull out are extremely low and if your 360 dies you can download them again on your new 360 (for free). The good thing about it is that the titles are priced in a way that they feel expendable. If I get a few years out of these titles, then I'm happy... even if they suddenly go away. I figure that XBL is a service, like cable TV. Within this service you can buy games just like you can buy Pay-per-view movies, or HBO, etc.

I wish XBLA will have some sort of racing game with online features, for example Racing Desctruction Set would be awesome. Or Super Sprint...

I'll say this again, Ragdoll Kung-Fu with XBL play is something that should be on XBLA!
And I still want Sega to get off their duffs and bring me Alien Syndrone and Quartet!!

I will buy a 360 if someone makes a 4p live-playable remake/port of M.U.L.E. for XBLA. And I totally call dibs on the purple Gollumer!

Fuck.
The only thing making me want a 360 right now is XLA. It would be in my best interest to stay away from threads like this, because I want to continue and believe it's not worth my money yet. It's both sad and awesome when something like this service is selling me on a system more than the "real" software. I want one. :'(

Has anyone checked today for new games. Marble Blast Ultra just showed up on the games list...

Woo hoo, I'm absolutely all over Robotron of course. I was waiting for that seeing the other classic Midway games previously updated on XBLA. That and Geometry Wars will be my first paid downloads once I get going with 360.

Welcome beautful toddler, Madison Elizabeth, to the horde!
I bought a new marketplace card as well today. I'm ready.
I have bought Geometry Wars, Smash TV, Billards, Mutant Storm and one more, I can't remember. I have 6 in total. I have 2000 points. I can't wait till I get home to get more.

Can I please get an updated version on Live Arcade?
That would make me go out and camp out for the 18th Best Buy sale.

How is mutant storm? I tried the demo and it seemed really easy/basic... That thought is keeping me from shelling out 800 points for it.

Man, those shots bring me back...way back. Loved this fucking game! Dan Gorlin for the fucking win.
Hearts, Backgammon, blah, blah, blah, give me a decent fucking poker game, you bastards. Clearly none of the developers making actual poker games are up for the task, so maybe XBLA could handle one that doesn't suck.
No, I don't think Stacked is going to solve anything.

Seriously...where is the fuckin hold 'em? It's a no-brainer.MattKeil said:
I'm sure poker is in the works.
What I want, is a top-down multiplayer war game like Sony Station's Infantry(the free version, before it went a bit too sci fi). 200 people going at it with little sprite soldier characters. Would this be at all possible on Xbox360?

I tried Xbox Live Arcade on the Xbox and didn't really like it, but I think Microsoft is really fleshing our the idea with the 360, and I just might give it another go.

Incorrect. If Gamertag A purchases a game on box X, then anyone can play the full version on box X. If A then copies his game to box Y, the only way to play the full version is to have A's profile signed in to Live.
