    So, any of you play XBox Live Indie Games? There are tons of gems in that marketplace, and a lot of them only cost 80MSP($1). Though there are quite a few great ones that can cost up to 400MSP. Ever since I got my 360 Xbla games are what I took a liking to. With the price of Xbla games going up as well as the Indie game quality I started buying more and more.

    Anyways I will list my favorites. Keep in mind there are ******* hundreds of XBIG's.
    *Note most of these are Platformers

    The Impossible Game - 80 MSP
    Now while it looks like an easy game the title does not lie. The Impossible Game is one of those games where the only way to truly get to the end it try it over and over more than 1,000 times. The factor alone it what makes this one dollar game so addicting. Besides the fact of trying to progress further into the level you also keep going to try and hear the entire song. While you don't have lives it does keep track of how many times you tried the "level."

    Aban Hawkins & the 1000 SPIKES - 80 MSP
    Another one of those blood boilers. This game is far more frustrating then The Impossible Game and is a lot longer, not to mention an overall better looking game. Aban Hawkins & the 1000 SPIKES reminds of Ghouls & Ghosts a bit in it's map layout as well as in it difficulty. The game knows it 'aint no joke so it starts you off with 1000 lives.

    Oozi: Earth Adventure Ep. 1 - 80 MSP
    While the last two games were hardcore this one is extremely casual. All you do is go around and collect stars, different colored stars. You take about 4-5 hits before you die. No time limit and the stages are fairly long. Although it does have an "Arcade Mode" that does turn it into a fairly hardcore platformer.

    Shoot 1UP - 80 MSP
    Man do I love me some Shumps (Shoot Em Ups) and this game is awesome! I'll be honest the main reason why I checked out this game is because the cover art has some big boob looking things. Shoot 1Up has all the craziness you would expect for this genre and looks fantastic for a one dollar game. You can also play it with a buddy and shoot **** up together.

    Abaddon Retribution - 80 MSP
    Now this Shoot Em Up looks gorgeous for a dollar. It has a fairly decent single player but the multiplayer is where this game is really fun. There is of course your standard Deathmatch as well as your Attack and Defend gametypes. There are also various ships and abilities to use. Again for a dollar is ******* awesome!

    Vorpal - 80 MSP
    Now this is a hardcore Shump! This is my kind of game. Even though the graphic look simple it still looks awesome, and play awesome as well. It's all about always shooting and slightly moving. Again it's hard to beat this kind of value for a dollar.

    Well I'ma take a break for now. Just remember all these games only cost $1 dollar to own forever. I don't know if any of you go to arcades but I spend more then that in a night at Dave and Busters.

    I'll update the next day or two with some games in the next tier of pricing.

    Any of the ones with moonspeak as a title are worth $1. Especially if you like alcohol or drugs.

    I got about 400 points and was looking for a good game. I was thinking about an RPG and I was looking at this.

    any suggestions for good games?

    I haven't looked into Indie games in awhile but that one you linked to looks pretty cool.

    Cthulhu Saves the World is another one I can think of off the top of my head.

    Available in austria as it seems so not US only.

    Though if you can't find it on 360 you could buy it on Steam.

    I bought Cthulhu, pretty funny, made by the same team that made the 1 dollar Breath of Death VII. They look to be almost the exact same game.
