I think an HD Rogue Squadron game would be the best. They already looked fantastic for their time on the Gamecube (particularly RS2: Rogue Leader. Cockpit view was amazing looking), but even nicer looking would be the best. Sadly that will never happen now that Factor 5 is gone. 
 
I would love remakes of KOTOR and KOTOR 2, but with KOTOR 2 actually finished.  I recently replayed KOTOR, and it's still a great game, but wow it's ugly at times.

Age of Empires II with high resolution textures. Don't change the gameplay or anything, just new assets that look really nice. And make it widescreen compatible so we don't have to break the UI assets forcing the game into widescreen like what currently happens.  Fun fact, there is a fan made expansion to that game being made for the competitive scene. The AoE II scene is actually way bigger than I thought. 
 
Also, to the people who say Viewtiful Joe, and Def Jam, I fully agree. Def Jam: Fight for New York is one of my all-time favourite fighting games.

I support Giant Bomb as a safe harbour for good podcasts, particularly if the rumour of them supporting State of the Game comes to fruition.

Ticket to Ride, Carcasonne and other board games like that. They're great on the iPad.  
 
Puzzlejuice. I really enjoy playing it. It's quite goofy.  
 
Gta3 is actually really good for having touch controls.  It runs at solid 60fps on the new iPad (I just like goofing around on it more than anything).  
 
If you like tower defense check out Kingdom Rush. It's a ton of fun and actually challenging unlike most tower defense games.   
 
And lastly, Battleheart. It's a strategy game of sorts. I think it's also on iPhone but it works way better on iPad. 
 
There's a ton more games but those are the only ones I've gotten to play so far because I'm so busy with finals right now.

Nope, I only have a 20GB drive so I can't really. I might delete a bunch of stuff and install Forza though. My Xbox has lasted since 2007.

Diablo 3 if I can find a job by then. If not, then I won't be getting it until it's on sale, which won't be for a while.

I haven't had any warranty work done but Dell did ship me a monitor in 2 days when it was supposed to be 7-10 during the busiest shipping time of the year. They make great monitors. Both of mine are Dells and one is 6 years old and is still going strong.

I'd prefer if they would hand over the reins to the community though, because there are some fantastic writers doing some excellent work for free; they could use the spotlight until BermanBraun figures out what they want to do with the site.

I think that's a pretty excellent suggestion, and if they were to do so, I'd definitely step up and start writing reviews regularly, as I already currently do. I don't want to see the Screened community wither out and die, and if that means contributing to articles, reviews, etc., so be it.

People have been calling for that on there. There's a number of excellent writers within the Screened community (especially litrock) who would do many magnitudes a better job than the current staff. The only one who wrote anything even coming up to half decent hasn't written anything in weeks and the others are terrible. 
 
 It sucks because I used to enjoy reading Screened and visited the site every day. Now there's no reason.

I find it mega-weird that the new Screened people won't even show their faces, do a small podcast, whatever. It's a really impersonal place now.

That was what made me quit reading it. Everyone there was asking for any kind of background info on the new writers (other than the freelance guy,who still writes for them I think. People know him), and the new people flat out refused and just said that the site members will learn about them through their writing. So I just read the site for a couple days, discovered that even I can write better than one of the new writers (the other one is fine, but the one is TERRIBLE), and promptly stopped visiting that site.
