Hi Guys,

I was looking for stuff to buy on the market place and I got nothing! A lot of nice to have stuff but nothing actually worth buying IMO.

I thought it would be a good idea to actually make a list of stuff worth buying. We can post a separate list of stuff not worth buying if people want too.

Preferably post about stuff you have bought and used and not just stuff that you would like to have but have never seen/used. I don't have a standard template for the reviews but something like:

ex)
Type: game
Genre: whatever genre this game is in
Name: Prince of Persia

Review: awesome because I love 2D platformers!

Rating: 10/10

and then substitute for other types of content like levels etc.. instead of game.

Just want to see if there is an interest in building this list. Could be useful for others.

Well this hasnt had a reply and i downloaded a game yesterday and like it so much i searched for this thread.


Type: game
Genre: Platformer
Name: N+

Review: N+ is a simplistic 2D platformer only taking up 13mb but what you get in that size is almost unbelieveable 250 single player levels and 250 co op levels all for 800 points. The game has you playing as a ninja and your main goal is to find a trigger to open a door and then escape through it. You have a timer that is constantly counting down you must collect gold to increase the timer if the time runs out you must start an episode again. There are of course enemies like turrets and robots out to get you but all you can do is avoid them. The platforming is great you can jump like only a ninja can ,jumping from wall to wall etc.

The game has a great sense of accoplishment where if you complete a hard level you feel like you have achieved something. After a few minutes playing you'll easily have a grasp of the controls and moves you can pull off, its then only a matter of knowing what moves to do in what situation you are in.

You can create your own levels in this game to challenge yourself or your friends its simple to create a level and can add to the game if you are good at it.

Multiplayer
The game has co op multiplayer,race and survival mode. Co op requires you to play as a team opening doors for each other or sacrificing yourself for the good of the team. Race is exactly as it sounds the game is a race against other players to get to the exit first.Survival mode is where you collect gold to increase your timer the last person standing wins.

Overall a great game with a lot of playability, this game did so well it was in the top ten overall games played for 360 for 2 weeks straight something that live arcade games never accomplish. Plus they are in the middle of making some more map packs so there will be plenty more to do.
Rating: 9/10


Here is me playing one of the easier levels.

Name: Sid Meier's Pirates!

Review:
I love all Sid Meier's games, and have played every single one on the PC. Sid Meier's Pirates on the 360 doesn't disappoint. While the graphics aren't anything compared to CoD4 or even some Market Place games, it does do a really good job with details and puts you in the place of a pirate in the 1700's.

There are over 20 different ship types and upgrades, arcade-style multi-player, and a bunch of mini-games. It keeps you entertained, but allows for a quick game if need be.

Cons: kind of pricey (1200 MS points) and the graphics and music could be better. Also, controls can be a little difficult to learn.

Rating: 8/10

I used to like those kind of games. Not so much anymore :-/ They take too much time TBH
