The most popular Xbox Live Arcade games of 2007 were just announced and the late ‘80s arcade classic, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, leads the pack. This makes me happy for many different reasons: 1) The game is awesome. 2) The game is not Yaris.
Surprisingly (or maybe not so surprisingly given Topher’s scathing RetroforceGo! reviews), a lot of older games still remain the most purchased. Conglaturation, Geometry Wars! Everyone still loves you!
Check out the full top ten list after the jump and let us know what you think. Did one of your favorites make it? Are you horribly depressed that Shrek-N-Roll wasn’t a bigger hit?

1. Jump then kick is the best way to survive.
2. Get the pizza first no matter how full your energy meter is compared to your teammates.
3. First one to the machine gets first choice of their turle.
PIZZA TIME !!!
WTFFFFF
Although the 360 version of worms is so gimped it's unbelievable.
Even more WTFFFFF
I know. Don't even get me started ... :(
Castle Crashers will be number 1 next year.
Come on, that game had the replay value of a walnut.
Maybe I owe the game more time. Meh. I'll try it again.
wait...I didn't buy it either.
But i know somebody who did and i played his alot lol
Is Pac-Man C.E. really that good? I played the trial and it was neat, but it didn't seem "800 MS Points neat". Is the full version a lot better?
also, Carcassonne (and Catan).
Fun game.
It is really that good. Easily my favorite XBLA game of all time.
Hey, don't hate! The game is fun, dammit! :)
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (1989 arcade game)
Worms
UNO
Geometry Wars Evolved
I paid for it.
I'm no Chad, but I will say this: "Get Pac-Man: Championship Edition!" After you play the full version you can never go back to Ms. Pac-Man, it's just that good. The way that the boards change is AMAAAAAZING!
Also, replays and graphs.
No Boom Boom Rocket?
No Switchball?
People are lame!
Now give is turtles in time dammit.
Boom Boom Rocket has classical songs redone in techno. What's better in a game than a good soundtrack? Good soundtracks in games, something lacking in XBLA games. Nothing better than the feeling of playing a game with a good original score backing you up as you hum the tune. It makes me feel cool when I play it. I'm so old skool hehe. Right there its worth 800 points.
Marble Madness is my fav game of all time. Switchball was made for me, nothing better than rolling around a ball around and figuring out how to get it from point A to B. Love the challenge! Bring it on! Has a good soundtrack as well, that unlike Marble Blast doesn't get redundent. This game is worth every point! Buy it!
