Yeah. And Super Mario Brothers is illegal, too. You mean I have to beat World 1-1 before I unlock World 1-2? Are you kidding me? That's practically like trafficking drugs.
Well, it'll certainly be easier than that dime he did back in the home country (wherein he attempted to blow up a witness for the prosecution) but as an unemployed victim of his and Carl Freer's malfeasance, I'm glad to see even a slight bit of justice.
I would love to buy some more wireless controllers and as an additional accessory, a special Xbox 360 controller that looks like a guitar, which hopefully comes with Guitar Hero II.
For over 10 years, I've been playing a little visual basic shareware game called Hollywood Mogul. It's not online or massive, but it is basically a similar idea. You want to try your hand and get some practice...

What is it they say? A genre is one innovator and a bunch of clones. And we do have a genre-based industry. Now, I don't think that innovation is something you can demand all the time. WoW works not because it's innovating, but because it's streamlining, taking an existing model and pulling as much of the suck out of it as possible.

That's your two options for success in games. Either innovate or pull what sucks out of what already exists. Most clones and sequels don't do this.
I haven't played a lot of 360 titles since my studio closed down due to embezzlement by the swedish mafia board members. When I did have access to one, I loved playing Geometry Wars. Look forward to playing some Dead Rising, Chromehounds, Mass Effect and Carcassone.
Let the hive mind of Engadget get that for you.
"I am trying to configure out a really dumbed down and intuitive PC for my grandmother. She recently had a stroke and while she is under my care I would like to repurpose a laptop for her to surf and email her children. Anyone have any experience with what input devices and UI's are really understandable for the over 80 crowd?"
