I'm gonna have to think about this. Video games shouldn't be TOO hard. Songs will be WAY hard.

Video Games

1. Silent Hill 2 (Xbox and Ps2 - I have both such is my obsession)
2. Silent Hill 3 (Ps2)
3. Silent Hill 1 (PsOne)
4. Street Fighter Zero 2 (Saturn)
5. Street Fighter III: Third Strike (Dreamcast)
6. Project Gotham Racing II (XBox)
7. Marvel vs Capcom (Dreamcast)
8. Marvel vs Capcom 2 (Dreamcast)
9. Vampire Chronicles for Matching Service (Dreamcast)
10. Street Fighter Zero 3 (Dreamcast)

As you can see a heavy bias towards Silent Hill (Silent Hill 4 gets its European release on July 9th!) and the 2D Capcom fighters, which play way better than any 3D fighting game. And yes, Marvel vs Capcom is better then Marvel vs Capcom 2, despite having a lot fewer characters.

Just off the list are Virtua Fighter 3tb (Dreamcast) and Virtua Fighter 4 (Ps2).

Special Award for game graphics goes to Lord of the Rings: Return of the King (XBox).

Songs

We've done this before, and I'm sure this list will differ from my last, but at the moment it's:

1. Maria (Debbie Harry)
2. We Close Our Eyes (Oingo Boingo)
3. And She Was (Talking Heads)
4. Time To Change (The Brady Bunch Kids)
5. Burning Down The House (Talking Heads)
6. In The Belly Of The Whale (Newsboys)
7. Hometown (Silent Hill 3)
8. Hanging Upside Down (David Byrne)
9. Laura's Theme (Silent Hill 2)
10. I Want To Fly (Tails' theme from Sonic Adventure)
Most of my Blu-ray collection some of my UK discs aren't on their database

- 1979 - Smashing Pumpkins
- Iris - Goo goo dolls
- I'm still here - Goo goo dolls

They're very, very good, or at least I think so (obviously). I'm not sure where you live and whether or not you watched the Grammies, but they played a medly of their big radio hit Seven Nation Army and one of their earlier songs called Death Letter (a cover of the Son House song by the same name). Their latest record, Elephant, went platinum and was nominated for Album of the Year (it didn't win, but it did win Best Alternative Album :D ). That's probably more than you wanted to know, but . . . I like talking about them. :oops: :P
