TOP GAMES THAT SHOULD BE ON XBOX LIVE ARCADE


EARTHWORM JIM

Oooh yeeaa, Earthworm Jim 4 was announced back in April 2008, but no word yet on any details of the game nor a release date. So why not keep the fans of the original Earthworm Jim game content for a while until they finish the new one? I doubt it will happen but to think of that game coming to my console, it gives me chills. This was one of the funnest games to play on the Sega Genesis back in the day. Humor and all, this game had personality and I think it created many Earthworm Jim fans. If you've played it, you're probably a fan. If it's possible, Interplay should work out a deal to release the original Earthworm Jim on XBLA and PSN, to tease the upcoming Earthworm Jim 4. Makes sense to me, if only in my dreams.


BUBBLE BOBBLE
What? Hey, this is my blog, I can dream can't I? Well, if I had my way, yes this is one of the games I'd love to be able to download onto my Xbox 360 hard drive. I played this mainly on the NES but this game has been ported to many other consoles. So why not the 360? It's time for Bub and Bob to bust a bubble on Xbox Live. I was 8 years old when I first played this so I guess I just want to go back to my childhood with this one. Good times, good times. Still can't remember if I beat the final guy on level 100. I hated that guy! What say you?


SUBTERRANIA
Wow did I play this game to death. I find it a pretty difficult game to master, but once I did, I was rewarded. I'm really not sure how many people have played this game or have even heard of it. I played this on my Sega Genesis in the early 90's and I actually bought this game on accident. I forgot what game I was trying to buy but the mistake turned out to be one of my better purchases throughout my early years as a gamer. It's a single player only but the gravity in this game makes for an interesting time. I would love the chance to give this game a go one more time on XBLA. Upgrade it with HD graphics and add multiplayer, and you got a winner. Bring it.



SKITCHIN'
I used to think this game was so realistic. This is at the time Rollerblades were introduced to an enthusiastic America, and I for one fell for the Rollerblade phenomenon. Playing roller hockey up and down the street (Caaar!... Gaame On!) with all the neighborhood kids. So when I saw there was a game with characters Rollerblading, and even better, Skitchin' rollerbladers who beat up other rollerbladers with crowbars, I knew my friends and I were in for a good time. I'm really glad I didn't turn Jackass and end up trying to do this in real life, hitching a ride on the back of car bumpers. Who knows though, there is still time. I actually still own a pair of blades still. Guess I shouldn't be admitting that on my blog huh? Just watch, Rollerblading will be popular again, and you'll have to go buy a new pair. I just have to dust mine off. Psshhh..


So what do you guys think... What games of the past would you like to see on XBLA or PSN? Which ones stick out in your memory?
