) it's just getting better and better. If you want me to do a top 10 game list, let me know. 
I remember those demo discs for the PS1, it's how I originally came across Kurushi and Kula Word, two of the best puzzlers everBen Wilson wrote:In all seriousness though, yes I do own a 360, have done since launch and not regretted it. Xbox Live Arcade is vastly superior to Playstation Network and WiiWare/Virtual Console in terms of the quantity and quality of downloadable games, and now they're started adding Xbox Community games too (JB, ever own a PS1? Ever get the free demo discs with the official magazine? Remember the homemade games from those discs? that.

I'm not even going to go into how Kai got his hands on an 18-rated game but it's miles better on 360 than on PS3, AND has exclusive downloadable content coming next year.Kai Laddiman wrote:GTA IV is complete ownage (on PS3 anyway).Joseph Bolas wrote: Burnout Paradise

Banjo Kazooie Nuts & Bolts
Crackdown
Orange Box
Bioshock

GTA4 (overrated IMO, nowhere near as good as san andreas)

I saw Marble Blast Ultra on YouTube and I would definitely get that. Its look's like quite an addictive puzzler. Also out of your list I would also download Pac-Man CE and possibly Sonic 2.

.Okay, you get to live another year.Joseph Bolas wrote:Portal: Still Alive
There's someone on YouTube called Zach aka funny1allways and he does a playthough of Portal and it's just so funny.Ben Wilson wrote:Okay, you get to live another year.Joseph Bolas wrote:Portal: Still Alive
Mirror's Edge is definitely a good game, albeit short and the combat is hideous- fortunately, it only plays a small part of the game, and there are usually clever ways of avoiding it. Sonic Unleashed... well, it's certainly better than the abortion that was the first Sonic game on the 360, but it's no Sonic Adventure (can't believe that game's 10 years old).Joseph Bolas wrote:There's someone on YouTube called Zach aka funny1allways and he does a playthough of Portal and it's just so funny.Ben Wilson wrote:Okay, you get to live another year.Joseph Bolas wrote:Portal: Still Alive
Another game that looks good is Mirror's Edge and I would also probably get Sonic Unleashed as it's different to the Wii version.
). I mostly play Halo 3 (the multiplayer is <3 for me because it's bright and easy to see). CF likes gears of war 2/GTA IV at the moment, although we have a bunch of other games. I've just completed MegaMan 9, which is a bit mental (I say completed, haven't got all the challenges/achievements yet). Don't really know why you'd bother with a PS3 over a 360, unless you want the blu-ray player, I suppose (obviously there's thing you'd want it for, like LBP and MGS, but that's not enough for me).I've noticed that Portal is a short game as well, which is quite disappointing. I have also been able to see a walkthorugh of Sonic Adventure online (thanks to funny1allways) and I can't say I am impressed by the game. I think Unleashed would be better than Adventure (but then I thought Fuzion Frenzy was a good game tooBen Wilson wrote:Mirror's Edge is definitely a good game, albeit short and the combat is hideous- fortunately, it only plays a small part of the game, and there are usually clever ways of avoiding it.

When we're not drunk I'll get CF to give me some advice to give to you. For now I'd say that Uno is crap, and Sonic Unleashed looks pretty awful. Dead Rising is superb, though.Joseph Bolas wrote:Do you have any game recommendations Michael? So far my list would include:

Also Crazy Taxi 3 won't actually play on a 360. Ignore what Racoon Boy says about Uno though, it's quick and harmless fun online, especially if you have an xbox webcam. Slightly less fun when people start flashing their balls at you though.Michael Wallace wrote:When we're not drunk I'll get CF to give me some advice to give to you.
