Xbox Live Arcade Unplugged

I got this for $10 with the Deal of the Day, and it was worth every penny. First, you get a free month of Gold Live. Second, it comes with a few $10 arcade games, so right there its paid for itself, even if you get it for $20.Wik & the Fable of Souls - Surprisingly very fun. I beat the story mode and had a blast. Its sort of a puzzle/action/adventure in 2D. Each stage is just stationary, but you have to swing around collecting grubs and feeding them to your "mule".Geometry Wars - Fery fun quick arcade game. I like these games because I can just pick up and play them for 10 minutes here and there. Try the achievement where you don't shoot for the first 60 seconds! It gets nuts and is fun!Bejeweled 2 - If you like Bejeweled, then here you go. Looks great, has lots of modes.Other games not really worth mentioning, the above games give you the most value and are totally worth it.

I bought this game for the very small price of 4 dollars along with other items to get free super saver shipping, and I am confident that this is the single greatest deal on a video game I have EVER made. To put it into prospective almost all 6 arcade games cost 400 microsoft points separately which is $5, so you save money buying the disk over buying one game off the marketplace. And I am having a fun time with geometry wars and bejewled 2 at almost no cost.I also bought this in conjunction with Xbox Arcade-Compilation Disc which was also 4 dollars and saved me a total 4400 microsoft points (2400 this game alone)over both games (11 arcade games at 400 points)($55 worth for $8). I recommend this game to anyone.

I tried to play the game and got the last copy (renewed) it won't launch. It disconnects from Xbox Live and even when I disconnect from Xbox Live it still doesn't work! Only takes me to my games list, so I feel that this is completely unacceptable. 1 star

Perfect!

I bought this because it comes with the full version of 6 games (two of which I like almost enough to pay for) plus a month of xbox Live Gold service as a redeemable card.Unfortunately, these packages from Amazon are pretty old, and the free month expires in 2007, so if you try and use the code that's included, it will probably not work. I say probably because I haven't yet entered the code. I am waiting until next month to do so because I'm so slammed with work this month that there is no way I'll be able to play online games anyway.It's still a good value at 8 bucks for these games. One thing I discovered is that you have to put the disc in to play them, which is a negative for two reasons: 1. You have to leave that disc in to play these casual arcade games that if you bought them on the Live service directly you would be able to play from the hard drive. 2. The optical drive on the 360 is noisy, and any opportunity you get to play a game without spinning a DVD in the tray is an opportunity to take advantage of. It seems like you should be able to move these over onto the hard drive, because they are pretty small games. oh well. Still a good deal at 8 dollars.

The games on this are available for download from XBOX Live (XBL), so if you have already purchased one or more that way it may not be a good value for you.This went on sale during Christmas 2007 for $7.99 and was an absolute bargain. It includes 1 month of XBOX Live Gold which alone is worth $3.33/month if you average it by the typical cost of $40/year.I believe most of the games on here run 400 Microsoft Points on XBL or $5 each when you extrapolate the cost of the points. Given that, it is a good deal even at the current list price.UPDATE: I have read that the XBL 1 month offer is expired. Yes, the date on it is expired. However, I have yet not been able to use an 'expired' XBL code. I purchased an XBL 1 year card and lost it for 2 years... when I found it again (yay) I decided to give it a try even though it was well over a year past expiration. It worked without any issue, just like the 1 month code that came with this game.

I purchased this as a gift for my parents, to go along with the new xbox 360 I got them since they like old games as well as new. After reading the description I felt this had the most classic games on it they would like without having to buy a Live subscription. I tested it once it arrived and found that many of the games I was lead to believe it had on the disc were in fact not, and could only be had with extra purchases. They were happy with it when they opened the gift and played with it so I gave it an extra star for that much, but I still felt as though Microsoft had lied to me once again. With such underhanded sales tactics is it any wonder why so many major computer and gaming companies get into trouble with consumers (and sometimes the law).

WOW. I am red/green colorblind so Bejeweled 2 was no use to me whatsoever. The others, however, were great!Wik is odd but fun, Geometry Wars, WOW, what can be said that hasn't been said for 2 years!!And the free month of XBL Gold still works, even though it says it's expired, just put in the 5-25 code and it'll add it in just fine.A great deal.
