Depends entirely on what you're into.

Though I'd recommend Peggle. And 'Splosion Man. And Kodu.

Duke Nukem 3D/Manhattan Project, Perfect Dark, Castle Crashers, 'I made a game with zombies in it' (that ones only 60 points)- really, it's all a matter of preference, but those would be my suggestions.

If you like old-school beat 'em ups, try the scott pilgrim game or castle crashers.
If you like platformers, N+, splosion man, braid or limbo
If you like arcade-style games, geometry wars 1/2 or I MEAD A GAM3 W1TH ZOMBIES 1N IT!!
If you like Metroid-style games, Shadow Complex is perfect.

If none of these seem appealing, look at the IGN list http://xboxlive.ign.com/articles/112/1120887p1.html

I played the demo to Comic Jumper, and I didn't think it was that great

UNTIL I beat the first level and saw what the rest of the game was going to be like

I'm in line to buy it

Dead Rising Case zero is worth it for 400 MS points. Or if you own Left 4 Dead 1 and 2 get the DLCs for it.

Scott Pilgrim the game is the only iteration if the character I like. The game is fantastic, especially if you played and enjoyed River City Ransom.

I found that it's actually cheaper to buy the Watchmen games on disc, I think Gamestop sells it with both games for $10.

Comic Jumper is fun for a bit but it gets really old fast (pretty much like their other games 'splosion man and the Maw).

Shadow Complex is a great game, but the 1200 pts. (standard for most games now) is a bit high but it's worth it.

Space Invaders Infinite Gene (or whatever it's called) is a fun game that begs for multiple playthroughs and only 800 pts.

Defense Grid is the best Tower Defense game I've ever played and is 800 pts.

Dead Rising 2: Case Zero is a nice prologue to the retail game (your level up to level 5 transfers over and the game is pretty long for a 400 pt. downloadable game/demo.

Greed COrps is a board game type strategy game that is based on gaining the opponents property and is 800 pts.

Jetpack Refueled is a remake of the 80's game Jetpack by Rare and also includes the original version and is 400 pts.

Panzer General (my favorite arcade game) is a mix of Magic the Gathering, Risk and Stratego and is 800 pts.

Hope some of those help you out and good luck deciding what games to get, that can be a challenge worthy of an achievement in and of itself sometimes.

Ive been thinking toy soldiers. Is monday Night Combat worth buying?
Well if your a fan of team-objective games like CTF then MNC is defiantly for you. It can get chaotic at times and a little frustrating at other times but it is fun all around.

Monday Night Combat is pretty comparable to Team Fortress, with more condensed classes. Instead of CTF though, the multiplayer mixes small elements of Tower Defense, DOTA, and what I can only describe as "Warfare mode from Unreal Tournament 3". And there's DLC on the way, too, the first of which is rumored to be free.

I'd recommend:

Duke Nukem 3D
Hydrophobia
Virtual On OT
MvC2


Final Fight: Double Impact is okay on the first playthrough, but the simplistic gameplay by today's standards get very old and boring, very fast.
