Most XBLA titles have some sort of multiplayer component, which adds lots of life (except for those titles that no one plays anymore, which sucks). Plus there's 200 achievements points, which may be sad, but it's a slight incentive nonetheless. I'll just play LostWinds next time I'm at your place for a week.

Seconding this sentiment. A lot of what makes that shit great is the online component. Case in point, the TMNT arcade port that came stock with 4 player online, which provided endless nights of hilarious ass fun. You get more out of XBLA games with online than the price they make you pay for 'em most of the time.

Speaking of which, any chance that any of these er... outstanding titles will have online play?

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Sure there are plenty that are worth the $10 pricetag, but considering the vast majority that aren't it seems hypocritical to say that's too much for a good game that lasts only 3-4 hours.

You need more friends to play with then. I've played through stuff like Metal Slug 3, Double Dragon, and Assault Heroes with multiple GFFers, several play throughs each, which leads to way greater than 3-4 hours of playtime over the course of several weeks.

Dr. Mario and Tetris online are always a welcome addition though.

There's nowhere I can't reach.
