Points burning a hole in me pocket.
Killing some time before MW2 arrives, got some points uploaded and now can't decide what game to buy indie/arcade.

Battlefield1943/Trails HD/Avatar Golf......


Ages since I even looked on the arcade on live, seems the choice is huge. Any recommendations? Love shooters/racing/golf etc anything good really.

Trials HD is one of the most insanely good things I've played this year. Get it.

It was top of my list, but a lot of people seem to say it can be very frustrating to the point of smashing controllers etc lol

It is good, just frustrating

If the game wasn't so absolutely brilliant, and the controls weren't so perfectly balanced, you wouldn't be getting so frustrated with yourself when you mess up.

But yes, that doesn't go away - I bought it on release day and only the other day almost kicked something because I was 15cm off getting a Platinum medal on one of the Skill Games.

Oh yes - Platinum medals. Nothing like finding they exist to worry you when you're struggling for Gold times.

Axel and Pixel. It's a considerably short game for 800MSP, but I'd say it is definitely worth it! Surreal world, surreal characters, great humour, and addictive mini-games. Go for it !

Did you try Axel and Pixel, mate? I've been trying to get a really high score on the Hot Air 'Loons minigame. I'm currently 4th in the world .

Ah right. As I said, it's a very short game and can be completed in just over an hour, but it's a great experience and has replay value and addictive minigames.
