I'm excited to see some original content make it's way onto the service, and not just another 20 yeard old retro game. Here's the breakdown:

Name: Small Arms

Price: 800 Points

Available in: All Xbox Live regions

Dash Details: Single Player, Xbox Live Multiplayer 1-4, HD (High Definition). Can’t get enough brawling and shooting action? Buy Small Arms to unlock all the levels, characters, and mini games. Get linked into the Small Arms community and earn a Six Degrees of Small Arms achievement! Can you beat the single-player mission? Conquer your friends on your couch or over Xbox Live? Are you ready to check the leaderboards and claim your bragging rights? Then don’t delay - buy Small Arms now!

Do you guys and gals out there prefer original games or the retro ones? Anyone out there picking this one up?

I'll definitely be picking this one up (as long as the trial is solid.) We tend to have video game night with a few friends every Friday, I think some SSBM style action on XBLA is A-OK by me!

This game has looked cool for awhile, I'll definitely be trying it and quite likely downloading it.

Overall I've spent more time playing "original" than "retro" games, but I actually have more of the retro titles. Fewer of the original ones are interesting but the ones I've liked have been really good and stolen lots of my time, mainly Hexic, Uno, and Lumines.

i woke up early, and downloaded it before i went to werk.... only had a few minutes to play it.... its pretty dope, the right stick aiming takes a few to learn, but its pretty fun, did one online round and that was pretty smooth

This game is straight up Smash Bros. Right now I'm actually in the top 100 for True Skill ranking! YEAH WORD COTTON!

I love XBLA. I download damn near everything (I have 18 Arcade games). I can't get enough of any of it, originals or retro, it don't matter to me.

This has been out for a few days now, and I'm HOOKED. If you haven't given this a try yet, stop reading this and go get the trial. This may very well be the best title on XBLA yet!
