Sega laid the foundation for Online Gameplay with Sega Channel and SegaNET, Microsoft just perfected it with Xbox LIVE, the big difference is that MS had akiller app (HALO 1 and 2) and numerous other gameswhen they launchedXbox LIVE,which wassomething Sega lacked, and we all know who to blame for that.

Halo was the one game that showed what the oringal Xbox was capable of, producing PC Level graphics on a console, and a far more effective control system: Using two analog sticks as opposed to one (Left for movement, right for camera), shoulder buttons being used to shoot and throw grenades, directonal pads used to cycle through weapons, other buttons used for opening doors, and special moves

I know I'm going to take alot of flack for saying this but the N64's controller is one of the worst designed controllers (in terms of button layout and programing) that I've ever seen

Video Game movies as a whole are a mixed bag, many are terrible (look at the Uwe Boll films) but you do find a gem every so often, ex Mortal Kombat 1 and Tomb Raider 1. Right now the best adapation so far looks to be the upcoming Prince of Persia: Sands of Time film, but I could be wrong.

The Resident Evil films are typical Zombie Films, although I'll give Extinction credit for trying something new with the series, that I wish would one day make it into the games: i.e. the T-Virus being spread across the planet following the nuking of Racoon City and the effects the virus had on the world outside of Racoon City 

I'll have to go with the NES, despite the hardware flaws the NES was the system that saved Gaming and it is the system that debut many classic game series: Castlevania, Contra, etc, and even today the games are easy to find and realtivily cheap. For me the NES is some what special being the first game system I ever owned (I got it when I was 5 as a christmas gift)

A console is ultimatly the better investment in terms of money, since PCs and Laptops need to be replaced or updated with new parts every year or two, and console games aren't as prone to technical problems as PC Games are, nor do they require loading and unloading to the hardrive

Off the top of my head: Raiden (Atari Jaguar): A surprisingly good shoot em up

The right thumbstick or the left trigger button are usually used to aim

Don't forget many of the first games (Tennis for Two, Space War, Computer Space, and PONG) and the first real game consoles (The Odessy 1 and Atari VCS) were American made. Nintendo just took the technology and prefected it in the wake of the Video Game Crash of 83-84

Many N64 games have aged horribly, especally when compared to their Dreamcast and PS 1 counterparts
