Check out Geometry Wars (Retro Evolved, Advanced, whatever) in the arcade, or Radiangames Crossfire and Crossfire 2 in the indie channel. Geometry Wars is closer, but Crossfire is indie.
    I see what you mean, I don't own an XBOX 360, but a friend does, so I will check out more of them when I get a chance.

    I doubt this will go through. A lot of streaming sites, especially with some of the more...stringent legislature of previous years, would have things a bit rougher without the added traffic gaming videos bring. With major corporations like, say, Google earning money off of this, I don't exactly see it going through. Provided they end up making some manner of argument against this. And we'd have to deal with someone policing this sort of thing. I doubt anyone would want to deal with that. Unless there's some serious pushing going on from the gaming industry, this bill is probably dead in the water the way I see it.
    Yeah I hope it does go dead in the water, because this will shut down tons of reviewers, even big name reviewers out there, that not only use Youtube, but other sites.

    What the HECK, man?! The government is trying to take MORE of the internet AWAY from us? Yeah, ARP. Sites like Youtube, SynchTube & more.

    Hm .. I agree with you, ARP. In the statement you made considering that streaming online is like doing so with your friends at your own house, only of course, the obvious. On a somewhat related note (this may sound weird and quite frankly I don't give a damn), my mother enjoys watching me play Final Fantasy titles, which has turned her in to a fan as well. It's in her own home for one thing. But say I wanted to stream it to her online from my house while she's with a few of her friends, does this land me in a copyright type situation? I don't think it should. I bought the game as well as the system, and if you want more detail, the computer and internet I'm using. No one is making a profit off this simple act. (Except my light service provider and ISP lolll)

    So yes, I think the government is ridiculous for this.

    Well hopefully the bill doesn't pass. If it does, a lot of sites will end up being shutdown.

    G4 and such have licenses to show footage from the games. Also, they don't show the entire game from start to finish. They only show snippets that will generate either conversation or buzz. My hair is a bird. Your argument is invalid.

    Think of it this way: if you upload a full episode of a TV show onto Youtube, it'll be taken down because it's copyrighted. If you upload a full episode of a TV show recorded using a shaky camcorder onto Youtube, it will be taken down because it's copyrighted. If you upload a video of yourself playing soccer with Lady Gaga playing in the background, the video will be flagged and they'll make you audioswap it because it's copyrighted. Why should games be any different?

    Now, I will say that I don't like it. But it's not like they don't have the legal standing to do something like this.

    So, in short, a video game.

    I think the game was more of a joke then anything, I like games like this, that fool yeah, they are quite funny. I agree, maybe a full game would be fun, make it a puzzle game.

    Yeah, I know a few people in the music scene, around Seattle, and they got to meet Ronnie James Dio one time, and they said, greatest person they ever met in their life, very influential, and had a great sense of humor.

    It would of been cool to meet the guy.

    Just wish he was still here, I know that for the next 10 years he would still be playing.

    Thanks, glad you liked it.

    I never played the Tekken 5 demo so I don't know, hell the last Tekken I played was Tekken Tag Tournament, and I think that was in the Arcade.
