360 has the 3D sonics which puts the whole console to shame :p

Lets just pretend Sega never made a 3D sonic game on any platform ever and leave it at that shall we :p ?

The sonic series purely consists of Sonic 1 to 3 and is only made up of 2D games. Maybe just maybe we can let Sonic Rush on the DS into the club but anything else we'll just pretend never existed.

You know what Xest, you took the words right out of my mouth! We must have that special connection. :p

Same can be said for Mario as well! We will let Mario Kart in for sure though, all the other 3D Mario games don't exist ok?

I didn't mind Mario 64 too much but not been overly keen on the others.

Paper Mario seems good but probably again only cos a sizeable portion of it is 2D.

What amazed me is that having not played Mario in a few years that even the new super mario on the DS was pretty cool. Seems like it's a series they can't go too far wrong with if they keep it in 2D at least.

I would love it if Microsoft, Nintendo or any other gaming company would develop and release a 2D games console.

Just a purely old fashioned retro style console but with new 2D games! The playability and fun aspect would be immense. I get addicted so much on the old 2D games and play repetitively. Now days with new next gen games I play once, complete it and then it gets stacked on my shelf not to be touched again :p

Wouldn't cost heaps to manufacture as it wouldn't be top of the range graphics etc, then again the company wouldn't be able to sell it for lots so there would be a lack of profit, if any! That's why no company will consider anything of the sort :<

That's why the Wii has the virtual console and the 360 has live arcade though I think. To provide the old classics as well as new games of a similar format. I really enjoyed cloning clyde on the 360 and I'm still searching for someone who wants to become a master at the classic Joust with me :p

I suggest the following Pc games to entertain you with until Warhammer is released: (one or more)

Civilizations 4: Beyond The Sword
Call Of Duty 4
Heroes Of Might and Magic 4: Tribes Of The East
Supreme commander: Forged Alliance
World In Conflict
Combat Mission 2

Those are the ones I recommend.
The ones I've got installed myself are : World War 2 Online, Titan Quest + Immortal Throne, Morrowind, Oblivion, Might & Magic 6, S.t.a.l.k.e.r, The Witcher, Gothic 3, Combat Mission 2, World Of Warcraft :P, World In Conflict, Ravenshield,Haegemonia - The Solon Heritage, Heroes Of Might and Magic 4: Tribes Of The East, Call Of Duty 4, Vanguard, Supreme commander: Forged Alliance, Call Of Duty 2, Splinter Cell Chaos Theory, Civilizations 4, Civilizations 4: Warlords, Civilizations 4: Beyond The Sword, Medieval War 2 (and it's expansion).
I would actually recomend any of the ones Im currently playing, but the first mentioned are the ones I recommend most.

Call of Duty 4 was rather awesome :)

Managed to do the bonus plane rescue mission on veteran difficulty on the 360 at the end too, took some practice to get it right! Problem is now I just wish there was more of it to play ;) Hope there will be some additional downloadable content or something.

Just started Pirates of the Burning Sea as a pirate on the roberts server.

It is something a bit different, a bit simple at the early stages but we shall see how it progresses.
