Nov 3, 2007. Xbox Games that Rock more than Mick Jagger's pants after taking Viagra.

It's time for another quick review of Xbox Arcade Games you should be playing. Each time we visit the arcade, we're constantly amazed at the quality of the titles. Our first impression of arcade was that it was crap. But now, it's turning into one of the 360's best features. And here's a few of the reasons why it's so great.

Yes, Alien Hominid was on the Playstation 2 first. But who cares when a game is this fun. Maybe not as good as SNK's legendary Metal Slug series or even Gunstar Heroes, but it's still addictive with a great sense of humor.

Marathon Durandal

Marathon was a big hit on the old Mac computers. The company behind this great FPS was Bungie. Some of the features in this game helped them create their big hit franchise, Halo. But before you buy this gem, it should be noted that the game does cause dizziness in some gamers. Probably from the high framerate.

Novadrome is a true Xbox Arcade hidden gem. It features gameplay very similar to the old Twisted Metal series on the Playstation One. The combat is fast and exciting, although we're kind of surprise it only supports eight players considering it isn't very complex in gameplay. Still fun though.

Every Extend Extra Extreme

Fireworks set to a rythmic beat is what Every Extend Extra Extreme is all about. E4, as it's like to be known, is one of those games you play that you don't have to think too much about to enjoy, but still has a wonderful, almost hypnotic, eye candy that most gamers love.

Wik and the Fable of Souls

Finally, there is Wik, a weird little platform game featuring a frogman who (surprise), can jump and grab stuff with his tongue. The levels are all very interesting and well design. The gameplay is more suited to kids, but it's enjoyable enough for adults.
