Mine would have to be "Horse Armor" for Oblivion. I foolishly assumed that my horse would not die as quickly if it was all pimped out in some armor. Sadly the armor is nothing more than horse bling which does not noticably extend the life of your horse. DO NOT BUY HORSE ARMOR DOWNLOAD it's a waste of good MS points.

Mine is Texas Hold 'Em. I love it, but knowing that it was free when it first came out, and is 800 MS now, irritates me.

Double Dragon was the same experience for me. Got burned by the horse armor as well.

Well, it was free but I waited to download Frontline: Fuel war or whatever it was called. It was a POS

Also it's good to note that the "Xbox Originals" which you can download for 1,200pts/$15 are commonly available for $3-$5 if you buy the game disc used. You do the math there....

Undertow was the "COMPENSATION" for that FCUKED up 3 week period over Christmas break where Live was Bonkers and unplayable for 90% of us.... WOW thanks a million Mr Gates........ I'll be sure to remember the generosity.

But seriously, why didn't they give us the ARCADE GAME OF OUR CHOICE!!! That would have been a good freaking decision.

downloaded treasure quest instead of puzzle quest. it's ok, but it wasn't what i wanted. too many 'quest' games, got me all confused.

oh, i also downloaded the demo to turning point. yeah.

ooo, good question. in fact that was such a bad experience, i didn't remember downloading that until you mentioned it. so no, it wasn't worse the HOV. nothing is. it just can't be.

It's true...so many games were cooler and better when we were younger. now all this sweet power and graphics has ruined what used to be. :(

For me the new maps on Ace Combat 6. They are charging 300+ points for maps that already are on the Campaign Mode so its nothing new except for a few tweaks. And worst of all nobody hardly plays them so it is rare you will find a game.

When Live was all buggy over christmas break Iw as desperate and downloaded Halo, Smash TV and Assault Hero's

halo lasted about 3 hours before i had to ditch it... Smash TV lasted about 20 minutes, but Assault Heroes kept me busy for a good 4-5 hours.

assault heroes seems to be a pretty enduring game. i have heard good things about it from most everyone, and the demo ruled. how much does that one cost now?

People are saying the most disappointing download is one of the best games of all time O_o

Fools!

I have only downloaded a couple of things from Live and most of them are free so I can't really complain about any of them...but yes, Undertow was awful.

Undertow IS awful - I played it for about 2 minutes and turned it off in disgust.

it's like a 3d capture the flag and on the harder difficulties it really gets challenging you have to try to see the flow of the enemy spawns and then flank way behind them to capture their rear bases.

I have to complain about Undertow as well, wasn't even worth the download time.

Im one of the suckers like glock and PJ who fell into the nostalgic trap. I got speedball, TMNT arcade and paperboy cause i loved them back in the day. Not that they werent well done on the 360, but played them all once and that was about it, didnt hold my interest at all. Well at least i learnt my lesson i guess.

And i agree Undertow was a waste of time. Played it once to give it a chance and couldnt get into it.

Fatal Fury is an awful port and is in no way as great as the arcade version was. That's most likely due to the controller though.

free <> good

free = 'no one will buy this piece of junk anyway so lets pawn it off as an apology for all the money we took for xbox live when the servers were offline and then at least it will look like we're apologising although we really aren't because we've kept the money'
