Poor Helix... always last place. My vote goes to Fable right now. If it's as I assume, I might have to consider (once again) purchasing an XHalo... *pauses* ... ahem, XBox.

Stonecold, although your signature is extremely empowering, obviously Barbie Horse Adventure does warrant a purchase of the GC, could you please cut it down a little? It's rather large, so if you could please just keep it to a few lines.

Thanks.
