And it lets me rent games like GRAW and remember how much I hate squad-based games with moronic AI. You'd think if somebody's elite enough to join the ghost squad, they wouldn't run across a battlefield to then kneel DIRECTLY IN FRONT OF THE GUN I AM FIRING FROM A PRONE POSITION. After the third time I killed my teammates I just gave up and returned it. Gamefly's biggest flaw is that if you don't live in California there's at least one week turnaround time compared to Netflix's two days. Gamefly is great, especially since 360 games are $60.

I guess if we'd been more hardcore and left respawning off, it might have been more like Rainbox Six, but yeah, in the light of day, I must concede your points. Still, very pretty. I just got Perfect Dark Zero from Gamefly -- it's much more stylish and fun than I imagined. It's basically a straight up FPS, but it does have co-op play, apparently through the whole single player campaign. We tried the first two missions last night -- it was pretty fun. Sadly the disk has a big smudge or scratch over the intro trailer. The co-op play is a disappointment, too — only four maps!?
