 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.
 Not worth the money February 26, 2008

It was fun, but only 6 games and non of them are for anyone over 12. Good price when I got it for $10 shipped though!
Arcade Fun February 8, 2008
This is a great beginner's game for those new to the XBOX 360. The games included on the disk are fairly simple and easy to use. Just put in the disk and the xbox will have the arcade games added to your dashboard as long as your disk stays in the drive.
All of the games on this disk are easy to play. My personal favorite being Geometry Wars. This is a fun and colorful "Asteroids" style arcade game with simple mechanics and controls.
If you are having doubts about whether or not you will like the entire collection of games included on this disk, please remember that you can go to the XBOX Live Marketplace and download the trial version for ANY of the arcade games (assuming you have a Hard Drive).
I can confidently recommend this game to all xbox owners who don't want to lay out $60 on a single title, but would like to have a few short games for a fair price.
Great if you haven't already purchased any of the games January 28, 2008
The games on this are available for download from XBOX Live (XBL), so if you have already purchased one or more that way it may not be a good value for you.
This went on sale during Christmas 2007 for $7.99 and was an absolute bargain. It includes 1 month of XBOX Live Gold which alone is worth $3.33/month if you average it by the typical cost of $40/year.
I believe most of the games on here run 400 Microsoft Points on XBL or $5 each when you extrapolate the cost of the points. Given that, it is a good deal even at the current list price.
UPDATE: I have read that the XBL 1 month offer is expired. Yes, the date on it is expired. However, I have yet not been able to use an 'expired' XBL code. I purchased an XBL 1 year card and lost it for 2 years... when I found it again (yay) I decided to give it a try even though it was well over a year past expiration. It worked without any issue, just like the 1 month code that came with this game.
