Final Fantasy 13 - 23 hours in / Xbox Game Room

At long last after 23 hours of play, I am able to customize my party. They are doing heroic things now, launching assaults, saving their friends, and there's hardly any crying anymore. There's been a few moments where something happened in a cut scene that made me keep playing after I was planning on taking a break because I wanted to see what happens next. Finally, I'm in the best part of playing Final Fantasy.

I've just beaten the last boss of disc 2, and I've popped in disc 3, but haven't started it yet. Have to take care of a few things around the house before I dive back into some more ;).

I downloaded the Xbox Live Game Room this morning and messed around with it a little bit. These are the games from my childhood, yes, but am I missing something? I spent some time playing Yar's Revenge, and wouldn't mind going back to play some Adventure, but it doesn't look all that awesome. It looks like they're trying to sell me Atari and Intellivision games instead of classic arcade games. Where's games like Gauntlet, or Tron, or Star Wars?

Maybe I'm expecting too much. Then again, they're asking me to pay to customize my own game room. If anyone is playing in the game room, share your experiences with it in the comments below!
