what about the wii?
It's a difficult poll in some respects, while those we XBOX 360's and PS3's it can be defined they are compatible with one another, people using PC's or other platforms potentially have a whole host of "configuration" differences.
I would suggest perhaps using some "Benchmarking" systems to identify what can and can't be run for those with PC systems. For instance those running XP version of windows will be limited to DirectX 9.0c where-as those using Vista/Windows7 will be using DirectX 10. (The later DirectX has differences in it's library for extra shader pipelines amongst other things, so some things will only run on the later version)
If you want cross-platform gaming that most of us can handle, then you'll have to look to fully OpenGL games, this means they can be be emulated on Windows, Linux and Mac alike. (Incidentally it's "Mac" for Macintosh, otherwise you might get it mixed up with MAC with could be "Media Access Control" which is the address that identifies a particular connectible adapter.)

Sega Master System, baby!
Wait... what?
Yeah it has games.
ok now how about those who voted here go back to this thread and tell us if they're willing to join us or not.
it appears from the poll that we can prioritize PC as a platform and preferrably cross it with xbox, that narrows down the number of games considerably, most likely we'll go with some microsoft pc/xbox cross platformer like shadow run. i'll look deeper into possibilities, especially free ones.
still open for suggestions of course.

What's yours then bells?
Horde..
Resto shaman.. Goblin for the racial.:shrug:
When the shaman was enh, it was Orc for the racial.. My rogue is also Goblin for the attack speed racial. It's called min/maxing..
The only reason you would go gnome mage or rogue is solely for PvP, as you are small and others don't see you. But even then, gnomes in pvp walk around with a giant target on their heads saying 'kill me!'.. Even alliance want to kill them...

I was roped back in by my friends when the GM of our raiding guild decided he wanted to resign and they needed another healer. Low and behold, I returned only to be made GM and am now kind of stuck leading a 25m raiding guild until I find someone to take over that role so that I can return to my quiet nights of reading and time to myself after my kids have gone to bed.
My advice, don't re-install. The MoP expansion just looks.. bleh.. Dumbed down to such a degree that it makes it painful to play. Healing on a druid now involves HoTs on everyone and then reading or checking emails.. Priest is yep, shield.. read or check email.. Shaman is thankfully mildly more involved. The only reason I haven't just walked away from it entirely is because many of the people in my guild are real life friends and they enjoy HM raiding.
Hey Bells your post reminds me of an email I got a while ago which went along the lines of "girls if your BF wants to show you how to play computer games let him, it's just because he wants to spend more time with you, and because his party needs a healer"
