I think Lumines Live is half the price of the PS2 version coming out (Lumines Plus), with better online play thanks to Live to boot.

And then there's Quarter Match... Just like in the arcade, you get to stand around while two people fight, then get in line to challenge the winner. This is more fun than you might think, because everybody in line can comment on the fight via live voice chat.

So, exactly like the online mode in DOA4, only without as many options...

There is one, small fix that improves character recognition for those users that are using the localized Chinese language version of the dashboard on their Xbox 360.

A little hard to justify when proper versions exist if you think about it

PGR2's pacing is better than that of PGR3.

In Got Ham 2, you start with the slow cars, and work your way up to the fastest.

In PGR3, you get so many supercars at once, it's like playing with God Mode turned on. It's just a bunch of races, much less of a feeling of progression than #2.

I've only played Burnout 1, 3, and Revenge ... #3 to my mind seems a little beter designed than #4 for similar reasons as the PGR comparison. Revenge is like Rebel Strike on the Cube: more more more! but not much thought or craft behind it. All IMHO of course.

No doubt I'll spend tonight on Intellivision Lives! because I'm not very bright that way. Me = Luddite.

No 360 crash, but yeah, me and Browney spent most of Saturday afternoon riding our bikes out of the gravel.

It does get easier. A lot of it is learning the courses / braking points etc. Nailing perfect gravel-free laps is so satisfying. Really helps to ride against other bikes as you can learn a lot from the other rider's behaviour. No problems with it on my 360 thankfully.
