DVD Talk Godfather & 2020 TOTY Winner
“Lara Kroft Tomb Raider: Legend” (Eidos Interactive Ltd.)
The most famous video game character since Mario and Sonic and they can't spell her name right?
Anyway that's a VERY disappointing list. I don't think there's a single game there that's more than $29.99 at Best Buy currently.
I was really hoping Oblivion was going to be listed.

To become a Platinum Hit, the game has to sell half a million copies right?
Then how the hell did Perfect Dark Zero reach that... in Japan of all places. They tend to hate FPS. Yet they are suddenly buying the worst FPS released in the last few years while ignoring good FPS like Condemned and Call of Duty 2?

Condemned was awesome. Definitely the scariest game I've played, especially if you have a nice surround system and play in the dark. Amazing environments and graphics.
I'll probably pick up Battlefield and FN3 from that list as I never got around to those and wasn't sure if I wanted to drop $60 on them

That's a disappointing list since most of those games have been readily available for $20-30 at places like best buy numerous times (and some had already stayed at $30 for a while).
I'd have rather seen $19.99 pricing ala the Greatest Hits lineup as well.
Hopefully they'll be some more games on the list, and more at $20 in various stores after a $100 price drop on the console (if and when that occurs).

Hmm... Most of those games have been in the $20-$30 price range for a while now.
This is just marketing to let more people know that 360 games can be had for less.

I've never seen Call of Duty 2 anywhere for less than $40. And I've looked a lot.
I won't pay more than $20 for it though, so I may still be waiting a while....

I really don't care about the artwork on the box so it's not a big deal to me. If I decide to pick up the 360 I just want the games cheap.
