i have to say, please at least rent assassins creed. whoever said it was crap just doesn't get it. at all.it is definately the best game i own right now out of everything (consoles/pc). and i hope that you have an HD tV. so you can shank in full HD glory.

also, about warhawk. i bought it and didn't like it at first, but after getting use to the controls and actually getting slightly decent, it got a lot more fun. zones is my favorite on any map. except badlands. badmap it should have been named.

so i caution you about warhawk. do you research on it. watch some vids. eat a cookie. pick you nose.

i justbought mine yesterday. i used an optical cable for the surround (and hdmi for the video).

you just have to tell it in the options to use optical for audioinstead of the hdmi if you're using hdmi (which handles both). it's so great to finally game in 5.1 :-) with stuff happening everywhere.

the "press a+b' screen, yes. i'd sing it to you, but all i can do here is, "duh duh duh do do duhhhhhhh". the 'duhhhhhh' being the problem.

and yeah, the trumpet player is always right. what am i thinking!

yeeeeeeeup. the original was like that.

adds character.

yes, so, seeing as i'm a pianist.. and i tune pianos also.... the mario galaxy opening little title screenfanfare (the last long note, to be specific) drives me absolutely bonkers. i mean seriously, it sounds like absolute trash in audio form.

is there anyone else out there in gamespot world that shares my grief? is there anyone who hears what sounds to be a trumpet that's like 50cents flat (who knows what's really going on with that chord)????? what was that audio tech thinking?!?

but hey, it's a great game, so what can you do...

also i just wanted to mention, galaxies contains the best mario music i've heard so far. that's discounting the nes and snes games though, cause no new game will ever beat the musical genius of games from those 2 systems. comes close though. reaaaaaaaal close.

"I would think that if they can fit a N64 game on there then they could fit a ps game on there."

well. considering most n64 games were like 32mb's... (tell me if i'm completely wrong, please, but i don't think i am)

and we all know how much a cd holds. now, i don't know if the cd's were actually filled up, but still.

banjo kazooie all the way.

also, i've only ever played less than half of mario rpg (don't hit me please, and pick the jaws up off the floor) so playing that would be nice.

of course i could totally just pirate everything, but where's the fun (and legal-cy)in that.

i had to get the major ones.

star fox 64 (i will get the snes original as soon as they release it). mario 64. paper mario

also the nes classics zelda I and mario I

i own the zelda OOT master quest on gamecube disk.

who's with me on some banjo kazooie. personal favorite. been playing it lately elsewhere(since it isn't on the VC)
