For the Tali/Legion check, if you can't keep both loyal, then I'd suggest siding with Tali. Reason being is because Legion has a higher survivability rating for the Hold The Line segment, while Tali is I think 3rd worst behind Mordin and Jack (you would also want to side with Jack over Miranda for the same reason).
I got an unloyal Legion to survive with everyone else loyal. I was playing on Insanity and didn't feel like doing his mission (it was the file I was going to import into 3, and I just cared about beating Insanity, with the intention of doing his mission after I beat it and could drop the difficulty back down).

I got the 360 CE. Preordered from Gamestop, which I went with after the retailer preorder bonuses were revealed. Have no idea how I managed to secure one from them, since those guys tend to sell out of CE's for any game months in advance, and I ordered mine about a month ago.
On a side note, I'll now have the CE for all three Mass Effect games.

Ending - 9 (I discovered this song after viewing a Nosferatu TAS. It's pretty much the only song in the game that's any good. The other stuff is.....atmospheric I guess but not very listenable outside the game)
Edo - 6.5
Holy - 8
Sunny - 7.5
Nom
Darkseed 2 - Carnival (this nomination brought to you by Action Mike Dawson, ring toss extraordinaire)

When I originally nominated the DeathSpank stuff the two themes were combined into one Youtube link, but it was removed since then. Hence the two links now.
Hecate - 8
Hinom - 7.5
Exploration - 8.5 (good relaxation music)
Hirou - 7
Nom
Torchlight - Town

Damn it, why is it always my songs that need replacement links? Also, the Alice theme for today is from the first game, not Madness Returns (although I did nominate the latter's main theme sometime back).
Funky - 8
IM Meen - 6 (ah, the good old CDI. That animation never gets old)
Oceansphere Base - 8 (the sound quality on this and the other Xardion stuff is pretty bad, but the game is quite obscure and the selection is limited. The song itself is catchy, though. Actually, a better link would be It kicks in at about 1:10. Not sure why I didn't use this link earlier)
World Tree - 7
Main Theme - 7.5
Gambler - 7
Nom
Blade Kitten - The Search For Skiffy
As for DeathSpank, I couldn't find any links that had both exploration themes in one video, so I'll have to split them up into two links.

TBACF - 8 (One of these days I'm gonna find an Alundra song someone else on this board likes. I refuse to believe that I'm alone in thinking the game's music is any good)
Final Stage - 7.5
Zia - 8 (Kid just listens for a while)
Liar - 8.5
Nom
Castlevania: Dracula X - Picture Of A Ghost Ship

Sweet, I got three in the bottom 10! Seems we continue to have vastly different tastes in music, and that I still have yet to find a song from the Alundra soundtrack you don't consider ear rape (that still baffles the hell out of me).
And if there's one thing I picked up on, it's that you're easily bored, and a tune has to really stand out in order to get your attention. Whereas with me, I'll listen to whatever unless it pains me to (case in point: my scoring average in the VG Song Rating Topic series is a 7.6). Actually from what I've seen, my "bar" seems to be the lowest of anyone here.

RainbowCrash88 - Applejack's Stage (this is the other song from the game that's been finished so far. It has a different style from the other one, so let's see what you think)
Ren & Stimpy - Space Madness
Savoy Brown - Street Corner Talking

I see you spotted my (rather obvious) theme. Anyway, here's some VG music (one of which is fanmade and hasn't been released yet).
Bastion - Setting Sail, Coming Home
(note: this version is ripped from the game, so if you're wondering why the song has such a long intro, it's because there's supposed to be dialogue playing over it. The soundtrack version chops out about 20 seconds of it, but for some reason Youtube doesn't have it).
Battletoads & Double Dragon - Stage 5
My Little Pony: Fighting Is Magic - Twilight Sparkle's Stage

I wish I could get that dog tag achievement retroactively for having gotten all of MGS2's dogtags almost a decade ago. The worst part for me wasn't the tags themselves, but beating the bosses on Extreme.
