Sadly, same for me, except for a few minutes of Gears of War.

But great to see the countdown begin grin

I forgot to send in my votes. sad

Just as well, I suppose. I can't think of 20 videogames I've played regularly anyway.

I didn't vote for Gears of War, but I'm surprise it's this low on the list.

I thought GoW was fun, and am also surprised to see it that low on the list (though I did not vote for it either).

I had to cut over 300 games from this list. sad

I am considering posting a kind of "Honorable Mention" type list.

Tales of Symphonia was epic. I'm very excited about the sequel coming to the Wii later this year.

I should have gotten ToS when I had the chance, seems like a fun game, there's a 4 episode OVA out there but I don't think you can summarize the story in 4x30 minutes. tongue

Anyway I've only played Metroid Prime 2, its not as good as 1 far from it even though it had some improvements and Sanctuary Fortress was an awesome area. I'm surprised it made the list.
