Some of the very LAME games for sale on it (not including the PS1 games) include...
Blast Factor -
A very lame rip off of Mutant Storm Reloaded on the XBLA that totally fails to deliver fun and value.
The controls are the same for each game except you can "tilt" the controller to move the playing field if you get into trouble by sending a wave across the screen, pushing the baddies. Graphically it is ok, but sound design and over all design put it in the suck factor section.

Grip Shift
Not that lame but uninspired racer with questionable controls based on a PSP game that was more fun I hear (never played the PSP version).
While the graphics and sound are nice the controls are flaky and for an arcade racer that spells D-O-O-M.. DOOM

But there are a couple of solid games that are well worth the money and time..
Lemmings
Now how many different versions of this game can someone own? Well a lot because this version is great and really looks amazing.
Its the standard lemmings game in play but with some updated graphics and worth the price of admission several times over.

Go Sudoku
I am a HUGE fan of Sudoku and this version is very good, but not perfect, but very good.
The controls are fine, but you have to go through this dumb long tutorial just to find out what the controls are, not good if you are already familiar with the game. Plus the backgrounds suck and are distracting to say the least, you cannot turn them off, but the Lava one is ok, just set it to that and you should be fine. The first version of the game is free, then you can buy (for dirt cheap) add ins that add more and more puzzles depending on your skill level.
