Xbox Live Arcade Game Pack

released on Nov 03, 2016

Xbox Live Arcade Game Pack is a package of three Xbox Live Arcade games. The compilation was packaged with a black wireless controller. The disc works by inserting it into the system just like any other game. However, rather than directly launching any of the titles, it adds three items to the Xbox Live Arcade menu with a small disc icon next to each name.

A lot of people don't know this exists. A collection of only 3 arcade games, this might seems like a rather lean offering on disk, but let me tell you these are some of the best arcade games on the console and this disk is more than worth owning. Of course, with the other arcade game disks offering 5 games, it was a strange decision to only stick 3 on here. Perhaps because of this, this is the only arcade compilation disk that I can think of which doesn't have any filler. Luminees is a puzzle game, a combination of puyo puyo and tetris, which I would say is even more fun than those two. It's the classic simple mechanics that are easy to get started with but hard to master and very addictive. Secondly, we have Geometry Wars 2, a twin stick shooter which is one of the best games on the console. Behind the very simple graphics there is a highly complex and fun shooter with excellent music and 6 fun games modes. If you have GW1 or 3 already, you might not need this, but 2 is my favourite of the 3 and is a blast to play. Finally, we have bomberman. This is a really interesting one. We actually got a full price bomberman on the console early on in the consoles life cycle and it got terrible reviews. It was a very basic version of the bomberman game and really should have been a $5 arcade game. This included version of bomberman is much better. It includes a larger variety of game modes, multiplayer online and couch coop and also the classic visuals that you love. It doesn't quite reach the heights of the SNES games, but is still the desk physical release of bomberman on the console. For me, these are 3 excellent games that are well worth playing. If you don't have them already, pick it up.

Lumines & Geometry Wars is a good bundle, great time-filler game
