"rong>Perfect Dark 64- menu of unlockable cheats, with descriptions of how to unlock them. This was a single player game that really had replay value, and to get every single cheat in the game you had to seriously committed. I can't think of a better reward system in a game than giving you fun cheats to screw around with.
Project Gotham Racing - "radio stations." While they dropped the DJs after PGR1 and 2, PGR3 and 4 still had music organized into stations. While racing, up and down on the d-pad switches station (ie genre), and left and right cycle through songs. Brilliant.
Valve games on PC - support for user-made dedicated servers. I've never seen a game website talk about this, which is shocking. You know why strong communities develop around multiplayer PC games, and usually not console games? Because when a clan forms around a PC game, they rent a server and can do whatever they want with it. And, you know, I don't want to play Halo 3 and use (shudder) matchmaking and play with random bimbos. I'd rather play on my clan's TF2 server where I can be an admin"

" is amazing. You haven't played since the payload update? You've been missing out man.
Only thing I don't agree with is you recommend it once your tired of COD4. You've got your priorities mixed up.;"

"on't know what all the hubbub over NFS Shift's cockpit cam is all about - it looks identical to the PGR cockpit cam. It's probably great too, but it's not "revolutionary!"
Also, for the record, when I used cockpit view in PGR the extra movement never bothered me for a minute. I think Greenawalt is dipping into marketing-speak when he talks about it getting annoying.
Whatever though. I'm really looking forward to Forza 3. I played through the first one, never picked up the second, but now I'm probably going to buy it while I wait for 3.

" EA where a new SSX game is.
I heard rumors they were going to announce a new one! But EA's conference said nothing.:( It's been so long since SSX 3, and it's my favorite series ever.

" is half way in between arcade and sim racing. I guess you could say it's got realistic physics that are tweaked to be more forgiving. It's not the easiest game to pick up and play, but after you learn it it'll let you take a Ferrari sideways around a corner"

"far as I know, the only "cleaning up" the photomode does is increase the anti-aliasing.
As for Geo Wars, PGR4 has geometry wars waves, one of the modes from Retro Evolved 2"
