Halo 3, but hear me out.
One day, specifically, the day right before getting Battlefield 1943, I was playing with a friend online, and instead of getting us into Social Slayer (he can't get into big team slayer since he didn't have all maps), he got us into this MLG list. We played for hours, and I finally got a decent rank... all that time cursing, getting frustrated, and seeing my rank go up and down. Then I bought Battlefield 1943, and had awesome fun for hours.

Next weekend, we went back to H3 again and played the same list, and it hit me... am I even having fun in this? We played social slayer and big team slayer from my 360 (since I did have all the maps) and I STILL got frustrated... there was no fun at all. A little kid sent me a message saying my team sucked and that we should retire from Halo, and I agreed, maybe we should.

Halo 3 is TOO competitive... SO competitive, that you think entire world tournaments comprised of thousands of people would play this... but no, it's JUST A GAME, a game that forgot it first needed to be fun before anything else. It takes forever to log into any games, it's annoying that when someone logs out he MAY effectively pause the game for others playing and you have this experience thingy that goes down even if you quit because you got finally ganged up 8 vs 2 (which has happened waaaay too much).

In the end, BF1943 gets it right: It's mindless fun that knows what it needs to achieve: Keep you having fun. Halo 3 got it wrong: It wants to produce a professional type of experience... but... didn't I buy this to have fun?

This game must fail... but it won't.

@RandomSamurai13:
The Blue Falcon is hardly the fastest car, it's that GX has a catch: Every car can use a Turbo Boost that takes away your energy. You NEED to master it's use in order to win races, so not using it is... ehr... meh, like in the second video.

Dazza15, did you see in what place the guy was? He was never over 20th place. In order to reach the first place in higher difficulties you WILL need to master EVERYTHING in this game. After playing GX, go play Wipeout, it'll be like taking a walk with granny.

1. Yes, I have downloaded illegal copies of videogames, and no, I do not think it was ethical. Videogames over here aren't only truly more expensive (due to taxes and stuff) but also the relative price is awesomely high. Whereas in the US $40 (which ends up costing $100 here) for a videogame is a 5 hour shift on minimum wage (I think), over here it can pretty much be 12 hours (30 with taxes), so you can only buy legal copies if you're not 80% of the people that live by the check, and that applies to almost all South America.
2. No, in escence, there's not. You're still getting something for free when you should be paying for it.
3. I think the problem in itself is what you end up buying. When you download an illegal copy, its because it's easy to access and there's no real difference (other than moral issues) with the legal copy. When games also ask you for even MORE money after buying them (expansions! extra shit! online play!), then you start feeling like a cow, getting milked AFTER you already bought the game (and Im looking at you Katamari).

I think part of the solution isn't on DRM, but rather on showing the real "Bang for your buck" with whatever package you get. Not only getting the basic software, but also getting freebies with it, actually makes you want to GET the package.

I ended up buying my GameCube with original copies after getting a job that didn't suck and game prices fell due to the console getting obsolete (second hand, unwanted games, etc).
