Of the stuff out now, I'd go for Ikaruga. If I could have anything, I would pay serious coin for Guardian Heroes (Saturn) in 1080p widescreen goodness on Xbox live. I would pay more than that lame penny arcade game and like it.
Not sure if this was mentioned already. but NPR's Bryant Park Project mentioned "Cheapbutt gamer" (they wouldn't say ass on the radio) and the send used games to the troops effort today. They also mentioned that gamestop sucks.
