Underappreciated XBLA games

[rxd]

Anyone have any recommendations on some XBLA games that some of us might have missed? Yea, we all know about GW:RE2, Braid, etc. But with all the games that have been released I know quite a few of them have slipped under the radar and were missed by me. For example I bought Cloning Clyde when it first came out and for some reason I never got around to playing it until this past weekend. While I'm not going to claim it's the greatest game ever, but I find it fun and well worth the points I spent on it. Anyone else have some suggestions on some over looked and under appreciated XBLA games?

The sequel to 1942 has a nice Psycho shmup feel to it.

 

Trigger Heart Exelica looks AMAZING. Its a japanese shmup.

I like the board and card games: Uno, Carcassonne, Catan, Ticket to Ride, Lost Cities.

They are all fun and make you use your noodle a bit.

 

I always thought Jewel Quest was a damn good game.

Assault Heroes, Heavy Weapon are worth a look as well.

Other than the arcade ports....

 

Underappreciated:

Cloning Clyde

1942 Joint Strike (much funner than Commando 3 when comparing the two new Capcom schmups)

Jetpac Refueled

Heavy Weapon

Wik and the Fable of Souls

I really like Space Giraffe and Switchball.

Carcassone is a game I would have never bought. I only got it because it was free, and damn this would have been one fun ass game that I would have been missing out on. It is a very fun game.

I agree. Great game. My wife loves it too.

 

Other XBLA games I like:

 

Pac Man CE (Everyone should have this one already!!)

Battlezone

Pinball FX

Marble Blast Ultra

Puzzle Quest

Puzzle Fighter HD

I really like Cloning Clyde and Assault Heroes.

I really enjoy Zuma. Even though I've reached a point that I can't seem to complete no matter how many times I try, I keep coming back for more abuse.

Has anyone else tried RooGoo yet? I thought it was some kind of kiddie game but it's actually a pretty decent Tetris type puzzle game.

I have the game, I admit I haven't played it a whole lot. It is a decent (and somewhat difficult) puzzle game though. Definitly not for kids.
