As for GoW, I can wait on it. If you do get one and you still want to play GoW, then we'll play then. I'm not enough of a masochist to play Insane on my own and Jason is obviously tired of GoW at the moment. @Ed: Man, you aren’t kidding about needing to track our comments on each other’s blogs somehow… they turn into outright posts of their own.

I have officially resigned myself to the fate of never owning a 360 again - at least for a long time (year or two if not more). Until they drop in price to former XBox levels (say sub-$200) it's going to be tough to pull the trigger on the $400+ required to get up and running. So with my name withdrawn you should join forces with JFCC for all your co-op needs. @Sean – Incidentally, I wouldn’t wait for me to play Insane Co-Op on Gears of War.

But I'd agree with <em>Gears of War</em> being the best of the lot, even though I got tired of it.

Call of Duty 2 (360) 2. Call of Duty 3 (Wii) 3. Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess (Wii) 4. Perfect Dark Zero (360) 5. Ghost Recon Advanced Warfighter (360) 6. Lego Star Wars 1 (Gamecube) 7. Smash TV (XBLA) 8. Tomb Raider Legend (360) 9. Sly Cooper 1 (PS2) 10. Sly Cooper 2 (PS2) 11. Sly Cooper 3 (PS2) 12. God of War (PS2) 13. New Super Mario Brothers (DS) 14. Castlevania: Dawn of Sorrow (DS) 15. Zelda: The Minish Cap (GBA on the DS) 16. Metroid Fusion (GBA on the DS) Of that list, my favorite game is hands down - The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess, followed by God of War (techincally it's a 2 year old release), New Super Mario Brothers, Tomb Raider Legend and Zelda: The Minish Cap. I also started the following but never finished them: 1. Elder Scrolls: Oblivion (360) 2. Final Fantasy XII (PS2) 3. Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas (PS2) 4. Bully (PS2) All four share traits of RPGs (yes, even GTA: SA) and they all lost me. I think I am just growing bored of micro-management. I want to get in, kick a lot of ass and get out (or solve a puzzle or two). I don't want to worry myself about how my guy is dressed or whether he has a proper 'Constitution'.
