GameSpot asks what's the "Greatest XBLA Game Ever?"
Butmac | 12:53 AM on 11.21.2007 23 comments


The Xbox Live Arcade is one of the coolest things to ever hit gaming. Downloadable, QUALITY games for a cheap price - hell yes.

GameSpot put up a feature today looking back at the past 2 years since the XBLA has been up. At the end of the article there is a poll where you can vote on what you think is the Greatest XBLA Game Ever. You can check it out here


As of right now the top 5 are

1. Geometry Wars (22%)
2. Castlevania: SotN (18%)
3. PuzzleQuest (9%)
4. Uno (7%)
5. Alien Hominid HD (6%)

I have all kinds of problem's with this list. Here's what I think it should be

1. Catan
2. Castlevania: SotN
3. PuzzleQuest
4. Pac-Man Championship Edition
5. Assault Heroes
6. Bomberman Live
7. Geometry Wars
8. Smash TV
9. Uno
10. Worms
11. Puzzle Fighter HD
12. Hexic2
13. Heavy Weapon
14. Doom
15. Streets of Rage 2

I know that Geometry Wars is a classic and I appreciate what it is, but there are so many deeper, better, games available.

I love me some Hexic and Geometry Wars. Other than the lack of offline coop, I'd put TMNT up there also. But I'm a TMNT slappy. :)

I have no contribution to this post because I don’t own a 360, except to say: Happy Birthday, Butmac!

If you're going to put an old FPS, I'd go for Marathon over Doom. It's not just a port and is a much better game (IMO).

Wow, I can't believe there is no love for Mutant Storm Empire, Switchball, Marble Blast Ultra, etc. I am pretty disgusted with the poll results.

Catan should be number 1, hands down.

You can't argue that the games they list are all great, worthwhile games, even if they're not the best.
