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

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!

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

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.

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

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

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

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.

This game was a GREAT buy!

At the time I purchased the Xbox Live Arcade Unplugged, it was only $7.99. It turned out to be an even better buy then I had planned on! I highly recommend picking this up.

Not Much Game for the Money

Unless you're REALLY into tetris games, or you're going to use the xbox live free month in this game, then don't bother. The positive, it gives you an idea about what kind of stuff is available on xbox live. There are periodic deals on this game that, if you're going to cash in the xbox live coupon, will make it worth while. Do the math. If this costs anything near the cost of a month of xbox live, then go for it.
