I haven't played my Xbox in about three months or so. Probably a bit longer. I guess I stopped following right about the time ROck of Ages and The Baconing came out. I know I can just go on and look, but is there anything that might not appear obvious that was pretty damn good and worth checking out?

Already grabbing Fez and Trials.

It's comparatively old, but if you're picking up some XBLA games and haven't gotten Shadow Complex yet, it's totally awesome.

I've downloaded this demo like eight times and loved it every time. For some reason, I've never pulled the trigger and bought it. How long is it? I want it to be long. I just get the feeling it'll be over in an hour.

There hasn't been anything really note worthy in the last few months other than the big games that just came out, trials, skullgirls, and fez.

I Am Alive is decent, but maybe wait for a price-drop on that one if you can. Not worth 1200.

Still the number one reason for the success of the Internet.

If you haven't played them previously, Radiant Silvergun, Simpsons Arcade, and Guardian Heroes. I Am Alive is supposed to be pretty good.

Love it, heard it's the worst thing in existence, and Guardian Heroes seems like there's waaaaaaaaaaaay too much going on to be fun.

I'm not sure what you're meaning here? The game did come out.

Anyway, Sine Mora's pretty good.

I remember people on here saying Simpsons Arcade was one of the worst games on XBLA if there's no nostalgia in it for you.

I literally heard this on B8. I have never played it before and have no nostalgia.

Also, pointing out once more how absolutely awful and counter-intuitive the "tile" Xbox guide is. It's absolutely terrible, a horrible, clunky and slow way to browse through games. It's what made me stop using my Xbox and it probably will again after I play a bit of Trials and some of the stuff recommended in this topic.

Simpsons Arcade is not that great, let's be honest. If you don't have more people to play it with it's worthless. The show was still in its infancy (only two seasons had existed at that point) so there's not much to reference. All the enemies are basically the same few things over and over again, and the game is a real quarter-muncher where actual skill isn't much of a factor in success.

I could be wrong since it's been a while, but I'd say about 5-6 hours, 7-8 if you try to collect everything. There's also 20 or so challenge rooms, and a high level of replayability in the main game.

Indie fighting game with an engine designed by Mike Z, a competitive fighting game player. 1-3 characters can be chosen for a team. You can pick practically any move in a character's repertoire to use as an assist. It's really good even though I'm terrible at it.
