Kung Lao's absence may not be nearly as "criminal" as Johnny Cage's...but damnit, HE THROWS HATS. RESPECT.

I was sort of disappointed when I kept getting throttled by an early boss in the game, to the point of almost giving up. Then I thought that I might try teaming up with somebody online to make progress, and viola! First game I created was a full hour of kicking ass with some dude I didn't know. Unfortunately, since then I haven't had consistent luck getting games going online. To call it busted, for me, is an exaggeration; I've heard of the game dumping saves, and if that happens to me, I wouldn't hesitate to call it busted.

EDIT: A minute or two after posting this, my 360 froze after populating a list of custom games available for online co-op. Yikes.

I bought it on the XBLA this afternoon. I never played the original, but I'm definitely liking it so far.

Braid, SoulCalibur IV, Geometry Wars 2, and probably some of the update to Burnout Paradise.

Perhaps this is a pipe dream, but I just might shed happy tears if GB's "Collection" lists could sync with the user's Delicious Monster library. (Delicious Monster is an app that scans your games'/movies'/books' bar codes to add them to a virtual shelf. Jeff was using it when scanning MGS4 in one of the "How to Build a Bomb" episodes.)
