God this looks amazing. I've already got it pre-ordered. October cannot get here fast enough.

It's nice to see this and the article on Capcom's Street Fighter Anniversary package. It really puts forth the feelings of the player base (myself included) without sounding pedantic or petulant. I had high hopes for Capcom after hearing about the fifth Devil May Cry game, because they were branching out and working with a Western developer in attempt to appeal to a wider audience, which meant going out of their way to do something for their very vocal Western fan base. Granted, a large part of that Western fan base has only given them complaints in return for this big step, but that doesn't mean all of us have. Japanese developers are struggling for relevance in the last decade and stunts like Capcom's certainly aren't helping. I know they're trying to make money, but that will be very difficult to do without customers who are willing to put up with their underhanded methods.

These are freaking awesome. If I had kids, I'd save these and make copies for them to bring to school to give to their classmates :)

Um...Gears 2's multiplayer is great. I suck at it, but even so I know that it's one of the prime reasons to get Xbox Live Gold (next to Halo 3 and Left 4 Dead)

I liked MapleStory and PotC Online. My friend says that FlyFF is a lot of a fun, but I have yet to try. RuneScape, however, was just AWFUL. I can't tell you how many requests I had to be somebody's RuneScape bf or (and this scared me the most) gf o_o. Another good free MMO that GameSpot didn't include: Kingdom of Loathing. If you're interested go to kingdomofloathing.com.

I used to love DBZ...then I realized it was repetitive and haven't watched it in AGES

The boomerang in Zelda 3. That item is a life saver for the first half of the game. :D
