Xbox live has been doing this since the get go. To me it is not a big deal at all. I can't see that service staying free when you want to add all of the new content and still stay competitive. I have no problem paying for the PSN on the new gen consoles .
1) Bard's Tale 2 (Amiga): The music and graphics is this game were top notch for the time. And are still not bad even for today. It was such a long and evolved game for me. And above all just like The Lord of The Rings books. A Hobbit was untouchable as a Monk! 2) Death-sword [Eypx] (Amiga): The was the first fighter game I ever played. It was great cause you could behead your opponent in a single blow, and when the round was finished a li'l demon would come out and drag the body off the screen and kicked the head off w/ him. Made for a great drinking game too. Lose a round, drink a shot! 3) Dragon Warrior 3 (NES) I have always been such a fan of the TRUE RPG, not just an action game w/ some RPG elements thrown in there. The new features you were able to get in this game made it all that more fun for me, and I still have them and play them for my GBA. 4) Final Fantasy VI (SNES/PS) Thsi was that last of the series for me that came out w/ the side scrolling overhead view. It had a great story driven game as did all the FF games. this was one only one that I have put enough time in over and over to replay and beat. They don't make 'em like this anymore. 5)Mr. Driller (DC) I love puzzle game and cause I can only pick 5 this would be right up there w/ Bust-a-Move. It was just a great game, music wasn't too annoying, and for me had a continued repeatability that made me play it for hrs.
