@Boom!: I did not have an original XBox, as other than an Atari 2600 and my beloved Dreamcast, I had stuck with Nintendo, owning all their consoles. So when Christmas rolled around the year the Wii launched, and I had to settle for an XBox 360 (which I now love), I did not have much knowledge about franchises that…

Fuzion Frenzy 2? Is there a requirement that the original meet some standard of quality? Because most of the nominees for worst sequel ever are simply games that were disappointing in their insufficient reflection of past glory. But Fuzion Frenzy 2 is a sequel, and is garbage. Most of the games below are alright, even…

50 KP - Microsoft will announce that FarmVille will come to Xbox Live (5:1)

@Killer Toilet: I used to reset the clock for Animal Crossing Wild World all the time... other than feeling slightly cheapened, perhaps, there is no effect.

Star Wars Episode 1 Racer, please. (Though many of the above choices should be higher priorities.)

@BadassSailor: I wouldn't mind being stuck in Europe (I lived in a German village for a few years as a child)... MS just switched to 1080p files for their HD content. Bottom line, I think publishers would pick up impulse sales they wouldn't otherwise see, that people would buy games new rather than used, if they…

@BadassSailor: Honestly not sure about the movies, but I know there are HD television shows that I've purchased, with file sizes right around the size of a game. With the games, as with TV shows, but not movies, you can download them again anytime, so if you've deleted Mass Effect but want to do another run through…

@BadassSailor: If it's profitable to sell HD movies over Live for $15 or less, with file sizes that are larger, on average than any single disc game, then there shouldn't be an issue... these are marginal costs, it's not like publishers just make one game. And really, it's probably Microsoft's marginal cost, so the…

@BadassSailor: There will be some who can't (Arcade owners) or won't download games, either on principle or due to price point, but publishers make so much more money per sale if they don't have to produce and distribute a physical product. The only real obstacle is relationships with Wal-Mart, Target, GameStop, et…

@MR. FAP☆FAP! ｡◕‿◕｡: If Hulu drops the ads when they charge a fee... and if the fee is </= $10, then I'll sign up and drop Comcast... otherwise, no.

@Nintendo Tim: Sony really screwed the pooch with their strategy on the Go... As someone who doesn't own a PSP, I was primed to buy... a smaller footprint, digital distribution so I wouldn't have to cart around games with me? And yet... with the pricing (more than a Wii, more than an Arcade 360, $50 less than a PS3,…

Now if we could just get digital distribution of new games for the 360. Seriously, what do the publishers have to lose? They say they want to reduce the secondary market. And after a couple of weeks, lower the price by $10, and continue dropping the price at regular intervals.

@Nintendo Tim: Not necessarily the right one, but hey... progress? The PSP Go cost less to make than the latest edition of the PSP, and yet they charged a ridiculous premium... If they had sold it for $200, with more memory, maybe 60GB, and made sure their games were available day and date including their back…

@crd22: I too thought fondly of Nuts & Bolts; there is a similar tone... but even though the blimp levels were tricky, they were nothing compared to the corresponding mission in Nuts & Bolts.

@Kobun:

My 11 year-old daughter, 13 year-old son and I have been playing the hell out of this game. As with many of our favorite games, It's well made first, and the license/kid appeal is just one of the features, not the sole reason for the game, and the license isn't just shoehorned in, but fits for the type of game. The…

@Atomsk88: I'm in.

@Sloopydrew: This is the great thing about the fairly recent comment notifications... It's never too late to comment, or at least reply to a comment! I played through the second chapter, I'll check out your comments tomorrow.

@TheRevanchist: By the time I get to Best Buy...

@simply_androoo: Not a quote, but Body Double was pretty awesome. Brian DePalma is often slagged as a second-rate Hitchcock, but he's his own man, definitely influenced by Hitchcock, but with a more unrestrained sexuality and a bit of Lynchian weirdness and menace. I'm just starting to check out his films, and I also…
