I am looking for games like Crash Bandicoot 1-3, Jak and Daxter, Super Mario Bros 1-3...do they exist on the 360, or even original xbox that will play on 360?
I like games where you advance through levels, third person, and don't involve seven button combinations. Something moderately challenging, but not uber-hard. Jump, shoot, power-ups.
Maybe I am just too old to game now.

May want to check out Prince of Persia. Games have come a long way since Mario Bros. but jumping ledges and platforms are still some of the most frustrating moves in games.

You got that right PopcornTreeCT :grunt:
Speaking of frustrating but fun... But then again I was able to finish it and I SUCK at gaming. :lol:
Mirror's Edge is platform gaming from a 1st person view. :up: The demo may still be up on LIVE.
Definitely Braid. Check out the demo and you'll be hooked. It's old school platforming with new school graphics.

There is also a community game. I can't remember the name though, Biskit something or other?

I'll second Mirror's Edge, it's surprising how well the platforming mechanics work in first person.
I would pick up the Prince of Persia Trilogy for the original xbox, great games. I didn't like the 360 Prince of Persia as much, too repetitive.
Psychonauts is a great platformer that is available as an xbox original.
XBLA has some too, the Banjo Kazooie games from the N64, N+
Kameo is a little bit more zelda adventure game than platformer.
I highly recommend Braid too, but it's more of a puzzle game than platformer IMO.

You want jump, shoot, and throw controller? You like old school games?
Get Mega Man 9. It is guaranteed to elevate your blood pressure by a significant amount.

You might as well get the complete saga one now, which has I and II.

Yeah, I just picked up the Saga version used at Gamestop. I didn't like the demo when it came out but after buying Lego Batman(still haven't played it), I've decided to give Lego games another shot.

Mirror's Edge is a great game...played the demo but didn't pick it up yet, will get it soon.

Mirror's Edge is amazing. It's very easy if you use weapons though. I burned through hard with weapons in 4.5 hours. A normal run without using weapons took me about 6.5.
The replay value comes from time trials. There are levels were the world record is 1/3rd the time I can run through.

Old school platforming? Huh? Braid is a puzzle game.

Anyone that goes into Braid expecting a platformer is only going to walk away pissed off.
If it walks like a duck and talks like a duck, it's a penguin.
