I've seen a ton of local bands ever since I've been doing shows with my band, but a couple of my favorite non-local shows I've gone to are: 
 
Darkest Hour (Dear god, they r-rip it live)
Zao 
Slayer  
Public Enemy
Gym Class Heroes  
Vader 
Bolt Thrower 
Immolation 
Incantation  
 
EDIT: How could I forget Misery Signals? Band's a beast. 

Every mediocre RPG on the PS1, such as Granstream Saga...*shudder*  
 
But, I was young and impressionable. I've now grown to check GiantBomb.com for all my stupid video game purchases. 

It's the game. It's better on the PC (the frame rate that is), but not by too much. Prepare for the end of the game though, you will be enjoying the set-piece and combat...and then you'll be moving at 12 FPS.  
 
Again, as far as I'm aware, its the game and it can't really be fixed on the 360 (?).

RAM - 3.0 GB DDR2 
 
GFX - Radeon 5770 (It was a gift, I would've bought a CPU first, myself) 

I recently bought higher-end hardware, but unfortunately it won't arrive any time soon (due to lay away and my cheap ass self). What I'm really worried about is my CPU. I'm willing to knock back resolutions and turn off motion-blur (if that is included) to run it on low levels currently.  My GFX is fine as is, but my CPU is only a 2.2 GHz Dual-core, and I was worried that I would be spending $60 two-three months too early.  
 
So, will ME2 run somewhat competently (read as: at all) with what I have for now? I mean, once I've paid everything in full it won't be an issue but I'm curious.  
 
EDIT: For some sort of benchmarking, I can run FEAR 2 on 960x600 (a little odd for 4:3, but it looks fine for a shooter) with maximum graphical details and all anti-aliasing on, but with that chopped res. and hit a good 50+ FPS or so (just eyeballin' it). 

Was it Impossible Creatures? That's early 00's, but sounds a lot like what you're describing.
