Please could you suggest some others.
Thanks.

braid is absolutely fantastic, later levels are tough tho, TMNT arcade is fun but i would wait for the new turtles in time game coming out if your a fan of the arcade game.
purchased splosion man last night, its fun, the new battlefield game is reviewing really well too, REZ hd looks and sounds spectacular on a decent hd and hifi set up

Braid is good but like rudster said it gets pretty hard after the first few levels. I wouldn't exactly describe it as "light" but it's a good game nonetheless.
Old school platformers are my favorite light gaming, maybe look for old 8 or 16 bit platformers on xb live?

i got the ultimate megadrive collection yesterday and the value is pretty good. there is some crap on the disc but imo its worth it for all sonic games and streets of rage 2. another plus is that you can run them fullscreen unlike some of the xblive arcade ports.

Yeah, I've been playing the exact same games in rom format, hah. I've just finished sonic 1 and 2, playing sonic CD before moving on to sonic 3, and have downloaded streets of rage 1-3 in preparation for a beat-em-up fest. :)

And there was me thinking that generally spekaing the Xbox 360 was aimed at more 'serious' gamers... :)
Good suggestions- I will check them all out, thanks guys!
I don't have Live here, cos the net connection is crap, but when I go back to uni (end of Sept) I should have a faster connection, at which point I will be able to download these other kick-ass ports! it is good to know that the Xbox is not just about the games you buy in shops, but is also capable of running other cool stuff like 'retro' games such as Sonic.
Once again, cheers for the info! ^^

RezHD, Ikaruga & Geometry Wars Evolved are essential.
There are rumors Goldeneye 64 is coming to Xbox Live Arcade which would be the greatest news in the history of gaming.

It's been talked about for a while now. A recent photo for some dashboard theme Rare is releasing showed one of those little game icon picture things for a Perfect Dark re-release so I don't see why Goldeneye won't get the same treatment unless there's some licensing shit to contend with.
