 Great deal on Unplugged! Vol. 2, PLEASE?? August 16, 2008
WOW. I am red/green colorblind so Bejeweled 2 was no use to me whatsoever. The others, however, were great!
Wik is odd but fun, Geometry Wars, WOW, what can be said that hasn't been said for 2 years!!
And the free month of XBL Gold still works, even though it says it's expired, just put in the 5-25 code and it'll add it in just fine.
A great deal.
Great Value, Great Games June 24, 2008
I got this for $10 with the Deal of the Day, and it was worth every penny. First, you get a free month of Gold Live. Second, it comes with a few $10 arcade games, so right there its paid for itself, even if you get it for $20.
Wik & the Fable of Souls - Surprisingly very fun. I beat the story mode and had a blast. Its sort of a puzzle/action/adventure in 2D. Each stage is just stationary, but you have to swing around collecting grubs and feeding them to your "mule".
Geometry Wars - Fery fun quick arcade game. I like these games because I can just pick up and play them for 10 minutes here and there. Try the achievement where you don't shoot for the first 60 seconds! It gets nuts and is fun!
Bejeweled 2 - If you like Bejeweled, then here you go. Looks great, has lots of modes.
Other games not really worth mentioning, the above games give you the most value and are totally worth it.
Duh, this is a frickin' deal! May 29, 2008
I paid less than 4 dollars for this and the free month of X-box live alone is worth 10... The games are fine, you'll like at least 2 of the 6, but that's not important when you consider this a month of Live Gold. Buy it if you like playing on line and it pays you!
 cheers for geo-wars May 14, 2008
if you have even heard of this package you have probably heard of it because of geometry wars. this single game is worth the total cost alone.
A great bargain if you don't already own these games. April 27, 2008

Xbox Arcade Unplugged is a collection of some of the best-selling games from the Xbox Live Arcade on the Xbox 360. Included is 6 games, 3 demos and a 1 month subscription to live.
1 month of live (retail $8) - It is a great service for online play of any game. You can download and rent movies, buy tv episodic content, and chat with friends, families, and strangers around the world.
Bejeweled 2 (retail $10)- A popular puzzle game in which you try to match up jewels in order to get to the next level. There are several modes to Bejeweled, some unlockable. The game is a real challenge, and if you like puzzle games, you will be pleased with Bejeweled 2.
Geometry Wars: Retro Evolved (retail $5) - An instant classic in the tradition of Asteroids. You fly around in a 'ship' trying to destroy geometric shapes, each having their own characteristics. As you progress, the games elements get harder, and more shapes are introduced. A fantastic game that is fun for just about everyone.
Hardwood Backgammon (retail $5) - Classic Backgammon action. You can play against a friend on the couch, vs. the computer, or take on someone online on Xbox Live. Hardwood Backgammon is also Camera Enabled.
Outpost Kaloki X (retail $10) - A strategy game in which you are in outer space, attempting to manage power and research. A variety of missions and scenarios to keep you busy are included.
Wik and the Fable of Souls (retail $10) - A crazy game about a small creature who uses his tongue to eat bugs and whip around treelimbs. Part puzzle game, part action, this game can be very challenging. There are over 120 levels in the game, each one being more difficult than the last.
Texas Hold 'em (retail $10) - This may be the junk of the bundle. A poorly executed attempted interface leaves most poker players wondering why they didn't copy any of the popular online poker sites and their interface. Often multiplayer works too slow, while you wait for others to take their turn. There are some scenarios to work on in single player. Overall, it isn't too bad, but it leaves a lot to be desired amongst poker players.
Also included are demos of Uno, Marble Blast Ultra, and Feeding Frenzy.
Uno is the classic card game everyone knows. It translates to Xbox Live very well and is camera enabled. It has a wide variety of gameplay options, including partner play. Marble Blast Ultra is a game in which you try to move your marble around to the exit point. Each level is brilliantly designed, colorful, and challenging. Feeding Frenzy is a great game for all ages, in which you start each level as a small fish, eating other fish and growing as you do so.
If you bought everything in this package for retail price, it would cost you $58. Even if you only need a couple of the $10 games, it's still agreat bargain with the 1 month of Xbox Live for free.
