I do like the newer ones, its just that I felt MW2 was a masterpiece and still wish they would just release new maps for it. No other version quite kept you on the edge of your seat the way MW2 did. It felt the most realistic.
I don't think I have ever played smash melee. Street Fighter 2 is also at the top of my list. I'm an old school gamer I guess.
Yeah, I think it would be awesome if you could be rewarded for playing games!
