Must-own Xbox Live Arcade Titles

I'm getting a 360 in September (finally!) and I was wondering what are some of the truly amazing XLA games for the system. As I'm writing this I just saw that PS3 is getting Limbo so I think I'm writing that one off the list as I will get it as soon as I can. I plan on buying Hydro Thunder: Hurricane ( I loved the original on the DC) but what else is there?

I look forward to some recommendations.

Trials HD, Splosion Man, Rez HD, Perfect Dark, Banjo-Kazooie, Shadow Complex to name a few

Pac-Man Championship Edition DX.

Also would recommend Trials HD, Castle Crashers, Alien Hominid.

Ditto on Castle Crashers and Pac-Man but I think Pac-Man isn't exclusive so it's up to you.

Also Bangai-O HD is nuts.

I had forgotten about Castle Crashers. The reason I did not buy it is because my friend plays it on 360 and nobody I know plays it on PS3 (boo PS3 fans, boo!). I'll check the other ones out. But Trials HD seemed like a game that is fun just for a short period of time to me. I'll check it out again too.

Trials gets ridiculously frustrating and once you complete the challenges it's all about getting better times and leaderboards and stuff.

There's always demos to try out though, so give it a shot!
