so ill be getting a 360 for my first time this week, and was just curious as to what are the must have arcade games of any xbox owner?

i know XBL arcade is a massive collection, but one of the only games i know about is bomberman live and i think im gonna have to get that one, is it as good as the old days of bomberman, and is there a decent community of players for it?

Definitely Geometry Wars: Retro Evolved, Aegis Wing I believe is still free, Undertow is decent. Uno is great. Oh, yeah and i played Puzzle Quest: Challenge of the Warlords on the ds, and its an amazing game, so i'm assuming its just as good if not better on XBL arcade.

N+, puzzle quest, worms, and geometry wars are all good.

Also, if you are interested in buying a memory card for extra space, there are some that come with either worms or geometry wars already downloaded on them. Both great arcade games.

DOOM. I love Doom.

My girlfriend plays Ecco the Dolphin. I don't know if that's good or not.

I can never get tired of watching that Ovechkin goal.

Uno and Geometry Wars are steals for a combined $10. Puzzle Quest and Penny Arcade Adventures are also really good if you don't mind spending a little more cash.
