Keep your eye on these XBLA games

Hey folks. Been wondering what to check out on XBLA? Luckily for you, I've got a quick guide of the new and the old essentials. But before you spend your hard-earned money, be sure to play the demos. Here's a short list:

NEW:

- TMNT Turtles In Time Re-Shelled - A remake of TMNT Turtles In Time, the classic arcade game. If you liked the original, you'll like this one.



- 'Splosion Man - You play a man made out of explosions. It's made by the same people who made The Maw.



- Marvel Vs. Capcom 2 - The old Dreamcast game gets re-released. Play as Spider-Man, Mega Man, Captain America or Ryu. It's a great fighting game.



OLD:

- Peggle - The mind-blowingly addictive puzzle game.



- Castle Crashers - The incredible 2D beat-em-up.



- Braid - The gorgeous puzzle platformer.



- Geometry Wars Retro Evolved 2 - Another gorgeous puzzle game in the vein of Asteroids (if Asteroids was colorful and harder).



Well those are my picks. Any that I've forgotten?
