Best Things to Buy On the Xbox Live Marketplace

[BobtheGreatII]

I wanted to know what games people tend to play the most and enjoy. I got 5,000 points for my birthday, so I would like to invest in a couple of games, just curious what are some of the best to get.

I already have both geometry wars, and get a kick out of those. And I enjoy castle crashers, but I don't think I want to pay for it... so please, throw your opinions out there.

Braid is a really fun puzzle type game, and has some Mario themes in it. If you're iffy about buying it, there's a demo that you can download.

Prince of Persia Original from xbl arcade. And stay away from the Xbox 1 originals.

If you have your 360 hooked up to a HDTV and you lack access to Pay Per View HD or the rental store is too far away (actually I find rental stores overpriced), the XBL Marketplace movie/TV show rental may be enticing, provided the prices are worthwhile of course.

Trouble with arcade games is that many of them aren't really different from the Java browser-based games you can play on any PC for free. 1942 Joint Strike looks good though.
