Recommend me some Xbox Live games ?

[msimplay]

I've just bought 4200 Live points I don't really use Xbox live for online play although I did have a brief flirt with it back on the original Xbox with Dead or Alive 2 Ultimate.

So anyone who knows their stuff about Xbox Live games please recommend some games that I should consider thanks

[fastbilly1]

Castle Crashers is the one I play the most
Lode Runner is the one I want the most

[msimplay]

Any others you have purchased ?

I don't have that many yet:
Prince of Persia (hd remake of original)
Assault Heroes (an amazing tank run-well-drive-n-gun)
Small Arms (great Smash Brothers clone)
(The two FREE games are actually really fun, if you don't have them, download em - Aegis Wing (a really fun 4 player shmup) and the Doritos dinosaur game I can't think of the name... Dash of Destruction, thats it!)

Ones I want:
1940-whatever joint strike
Sf2 HD remix
Assault Heroes 2
Shadow Complex!!!
Bionic Commando

Those should get you started. There are also some great re-releases like Soul Cal, Ikaruga, Samurai Shodown 2 (online multiplayer!!), and others that you may already have on other systems.

edited - I said Samurai Shodown 3 originally for some reason, but I meant Samurai Shodown 2 for live arcade.

Thanks I don't really play online multi-player I have always preferred local multi-player being a gamer that has grown up in the Arcades

I don't have that many yet:
Prince of Persia (hd remake of original)
Assault Heroes (an amazing tank run-well-drive-n-gun)
Small Arms (great Smash Brothers clone)

Thanks had no idea Xbox also had free games

Not sure to be honest I haven't really kept up to date with modern games in general I tend to buy more older releases both ones I've played and ones I haven't on Wii Virtual Console / Wiiware because that's the console in my room.

The Xbox is hooked up to the HDTV downstairs and the TV gets a lot of use so it gets played a lot less.

Also I'd be grateful if someone could list some Xbox schmups on XBLA.
The Rtype and Vertical shooter types as I did hear that XBLA has a few thanks.
