I just installed it, it's pretty cool checking the xbox news while you're gaming or you can listen to podcasts. Maybe this will evolve into a real web browser, anyways it's a first step.

I just installed it, can't wait to test it out! Thanks for already including some cool podcasts with it! (I had noticed for the past several months our webstats getting hits from "XBStream" and was thinking what the hell is that! lol).

At first I was like, No Code Veronica on the list!? But then I seen Mainline. The list checks out, but I would personally put 2 over 4.

KwietStorm_BLM2d ago

I'll take 2 over 4 also. And even without a number, I don't see how Code Veronica, my other favorite in the franchise, isn't mainline when it's the actual sequel to RE2.

Rebel_Scum2d ago

The original RE was the best. Its not on the list which makes no sense.

The remake of it was alright but should be higher on this list.

-Foxtrot2d ago

The original RE smokes VII and Village, come on.
