Best:

Metroid: Zero Mission- Really enjoyed the updated graphics and the additional content at the end.

Kingdom Hearts: Chain of Memories Re- I was afraid this was going to be exclusive to Kingdom Hearts 2: Final Mix (International Release), but I was both suprised and glad they released it Stateside.

Final Fantasy IV(DS)- The reedited text and voice acting brought the story to life. The graphics were just icing on the cake.

Final Fantasy III(DS)- At least Americans have a chance to play the game. Haven't played much of it though, but I liked what I played.

-Others already mentioned: Resident Evil, Metal Gear Solid: Twin Snakes

From experience, I've never found an example where the demo was that drastically different from the game itself. For those who say "It's just a demo, it'll be fixed". I highly doubt it. I can't count how many times I've heard that excuse and the "issue is never fixed. So, this worries me because I noticed the lack of sound immerssion myself.

Predator: Concrete Jungle. No matter how many times I attempt to "play" this game, I just can't do it. Not only was it a missed opportunity, but has a horrible game design that can only be explained as "shallow, simplistic, unoriginal, and boring" which was rather pathetic given its time of release. Weird how it's one of the more moderately expensive titles out there from last gen.

Xbox is always my least favorite system, but I always buy the Xbox consoles because they are American. I like supporting American developers and consoles.

Not really supporting an American product when it's being assembled in China and then sold here. Same goes to Apple, SONY, and almost every other eletronics company out there. Sad really.

If only Microsoft and Apple would assemble their products here in the States, how many jobs do you think they could create? How much better the economy would be? No, thier CEOs gotta make sure they make their $80 million. God forbid they take a paycut or lose out on a bit of money to help the economy so instead of $80 milllion, it's $5. I mean really, who needs that much money? I'd even pay a premium price for a product if it was stamped "Made in America" and it meant jobs for people.

The only way to remedy the situation, is to fix China and several other Asian nation's labor laws and work environment. If that improves, then it'd be too costly for foriegn companies to create products there.

King's Field series. Very difficult move and look around when you only have the d-pad to turn and go forward/backwards, L2/R2 buttons to look up/down, and L1/R1 to strafe. Anyone who has played this games knows you move around like you're in a world made of molasses. It's almost a two-hour learning curve just for the controls.

Half-Life 2. I was pretty impressed they were able to port the game to the Xbox. Too bad it suffers from long loading times and lower resolution.

Nice find, I'm still searching for the game at a cheap price.
