Aπο αυτα μερικα απο τα καλυτερα αυτη τη στιγμη ειναι τα εξης:
1. Castlevania: Symphony of the Night
Castlevania: Symphony of the Night is one of the greatest games ever made, and even though it is ten years old, it is still very impressive. It features amazingly satisfying action/exploration gameplay, tons of secrets, and one of the best soundtracks ever to grace a videogame. This is a fantastic oldschool game that hardcore gamers will really appreciate. Castlevania: SOTN is highly recommended.
2. Geometry Wars: Retro Evolved 2
Take everything that made Geometry Wars great – simple graphics, fast paced frantic gameplay – and multiply it by ten and you’ll end up with Geometry Wars: Retro Evolved 2. It is bigger, better, more beautiful, and packs six distinct modes that will keep you coming back for more. The new modes are also noteworthy because many of them are quick and easy to jump in and out of and you don’t have to spend half an hour and score into the tens of millions to be satisfied like you do with the first game. Geo Wars 2 is unquestionably better than the first game and is one of the best titles on XBLA.
3. Puzzle Quest
Puzzle Quest is pretty much the result of what happens when a puzzle game and an RPG meet up after a night of drinking. It is a puzzle game at its core, but rather than trying to get a high score, you are battling an enemy. You alternate turns with your opponent, trying to match three or more of the same color of pieces in order to earn magic so you can cast spells. You cast spells and attack and try to whittle their hit points down to zero, just like an RPG. As you play, your character gets stronger and learns new skills. Puzzle Quest sounds weird, but it is absolute addictive and completely fresh and original.
4. Uno
Uno is easily one of the best games available in the Xbox Live Arcade. It is easy to learn, fun to play, and just good all around. You can listen to custom soundtracks and chit chat with other players while you are playing and it is just a ton of fun. Sure it seems odd to have a $400 system and a fancy HDTV just to play Uno, but that is part of the charm of the game.
5. Worms
Worms is a turn-based strategy game where you pit teams of worms against each other in all out warfare. Bombs. Guns. Sheep. Anything is fair game to be used as a weapon. This unique and funny take on turn-based combat has proven to be a cult hit on the PC over the years, and now it makes an appearance on the Xbox Live Arcade. It is a bit bare bones compared to some of the other versions of the game out there, but it is still amazingly fun and worth the 800 points.

6. Ikaruga
Ikaruga is a shoot-em-up that is easily the most challenging title the genre has to offer. It is brutally difficult, but that is why it is so addictive and fun to play. The color-switching gameplay where you have to use dark bullets to kill light enemies and vice versa is one of the more innovative additions the genre has seen and works very well to constantly keep you on your toes. It is a beautiful game that plays like a dream and is highly recommended.
7. E4 - Every Extend Extra Extreme
E4 is a brightly colored, extremely stylish rhythm/puzzle/music game that has you setting off chain reactions in a field of relentlessly advancing "enemy" pieces. It is sort of weird in that you start a reaction and can then just sit back for 15-30 seconds while stuff explodes in pretty colors. The main appeal here is the slick looking presentation and cool music, but the game definitely isn't for everyone. Just one play through of one level can last more than an hour, and you can score points in the tens of trillions!
8. Pac-Man CE
Microsoft and Namco shocked the videogame world by announcing Pac-Man Championship Edition exclusively for Xbox Live Arcade, the first real update to Pac-Man in over 25 years. New graphics, new stages, and a new gameplay mechanic that continuously reseeds the map with dots and power pellets, Pac-Man CE is a fresh take on an old classic that is surprisingly good.
9. Lumines Live
Part puzzle game and part music game, Lumines is an addictive mix of solid gameplay, stylish graphics, and catchy music. It is the type of game that is hard not to love once you give it a try.

10. Carcassonne
Another classic European board game takes a stab at Xbox Live Arcade glory this week, and Carcassonne, like Catan before it, is an amazingly fun game that works perfectly on the XBLA. Carcassonne actually bests Catan in a few key ways, such as having a faster paced game and local multiplayer, to make it stand as easily the best of the two. Whether you already love the game or have never played it before, Carcassonne is absolutely worth checking out.
