I'm also a Christian (Reformed Presbyterian), and I do think that homosexuality is wrong. BUT, before you start expecting me to start insulting gays, I'm not like that. I don't believe in it, I don't think people should practice it, but I'm not going to go around calling people f*gs. I believe in a certain amount of tolerance, where I don't believe in it, but I'm not going to insult a gay to his face.

I don't like when video game companies start going political with ads and such. I just want a game that takes a neutral stance on politics. I don't want a gay lead character, but the lead character doesn't have to be Christian, either. I just want to have fun playing a game, and I seriously don't care for the references to politics.

I think cutting out voice chat is a bit extreme- like you say you can always mute people and the 360's cross-game party chat totally cuts out the need to converse with strangers.

It's just like the swear filter in World of Warcraft, just because there is a fail safe, doesn't mean you can disregard the terms of service you had to agree to when joining Live or PSN. People would swear in WoW and get harped on, and their defense would be the swear filter, when they should have policed themselves.

Integrity: Doing the right thing, because it's the right thing, even when you probably won't get in trouble.

I do agree with you though, that people should be more liberal with the mute button. A lot of the bigots, angry teens, and annoying people seem to have a habit of shutting up when they stop getting attention.

I agree with you that it's bad online with bashing and such but you know, there is the option of muting the other people. Just saying.

The fact that Metroid, Ratchet and Clank, and more importantly SUPER MARIO aren't real big names to you saddens me.

Oh, I can barely play Fusion now thanks to Super Metroid. I know all the little tricks. Mockball, the quick charge dash, and the game killer: Same wall wall jump. Super Metroid is my all time favorite game.

I didn't expect Team Fortress 2 to be up there. I was surprised to see that up there with the likes of Majora's Mask and Metroid games. But, have you played Super Metroid? If you haven't, I think you would love that way more than Fusion. Fusion was a great game, but it didn't have the lasting effect that Super Metroid did on me. Great choices, nice to see some unique picks for once!
