By far the best game that I enjoy playing several times a week is Grand Theft Auto IV. Every button on the control does SOMETHING, but the game helps get you started by showing you what to do, and what to click or push and then after a few minutes, everything feels pretty natural.

Of course it's light years beyond Intellivision so you can't compare them, but what is nice is that the environment feels real. What you expect to happen, happens, and the interaction with the environment is just as much fun as the gameplay itself. I often find myself just exploring the world instead of playing the game.

If Photorealistic 3D immersive gaming isn't your thing, don't worry. Make sure you get your Xbox360 setup to be online, and you can download all kinds of things including 80's classics like Space Invaders, Asteroids, etc. Whenever I'm in the mood for nostalgia / retro or recapturing a little youth, I hit these games.

The Xbox360 is an amazing gaming system. You will love it.

i still have my atari 2600 when i got the 5200 man that was the life good lord i can imagine how people felt when they got the first color tv's
