Tell Us Why You Love XBLA and Win

I hate XBLA Games.....What do i win?

XBLA games are fun things to pass a bit of time when your bored or if you really like a certain one, play it a lot. Good example is Perfect Dark, well once it comes out.
There is A LOT in that for sure.

There is more variety amongst arcade titles without taking a lot of space on your hard drive and more games compared to how much a disc game could eat up your memory.

EDIT: I forgot about Indie games too.

What's not to love about arcade games? I've only recently been introduced to arcade games (trials, marble blast ultra) after grudgingly refusing to play them. Once I gave it a shot, i couldnt stop playing them (trials in particular). Arcade games give you an opportunity to play great, entertaining games, along with the luxury of a relatively low cost for a great quality game. Hours of entertainment can come from them, no matter how mindless and repetitive. For those of us who are obsessed with collecting gamerscore, it gives us an opportunity to rack up a few points, however, without it being the main point of playing the game. Arcade games remind us of the basics of gaming and why we began gaming in the first place

XBLA games let me enjoy the more laid-back gaming style (as games like Halo 3, I usually play only competitively). I love playing them with friends, I played through all of Castle Crashers this weekend with two of my buddies. XBLA has so many unique and fun and addicting games, that it'd be tough (and expensive) for me to get through all of them, but I try as many as I can. I truly love to play them, but unfortunately don't play them too often (I just bought Castle Crashers and Gel so I'm getting into arcade games again). I also really like having a collection of small games that I can play whenever I get bored, or if my disk tray breaks (happened to my friend so we just played lots of Uno). XBLA brings a fun time, every time. And of the games I've played, I haven't been disappointed! The end.

Actually, I like it because you don't have to think while playing it. They're relaxed games, not something you'd have to be concious for.

Don't count me in the contest though. You'd have to pay to send it all the way to the Netherlands.

I love the XBLA because they are cheaper games that are great for short bursts of entertainment. They are also great for catching up on games I missed out in the past (because I was too young ) and I love that they are so convienient to download and play without disks or anything.
They are usually great if you only got like 5 mins or so and you cant play a full game of Halo or COD

Also they usually have easy achievements

I like XBLA games because They are usually cheap, and because they are small games and usually very addictive and fun for months. one really good example is CastleCrashers. And I just simply love Retro games like pacman, I can't Belive why I didn't play those games when I was young. thats enough for now but now I go try get something to my head for that crappy exam.
