Custom Soundtracks.
I saw Driver: Parallel Lines yesterday for £2. Wasn't going to bother but seeing those two magic words sealed the deal.

Am I right in thinking the 360 does is it regardless of the game?

My greatest gameing weakness would be resisting the urge to play games when I'm doing homework

Similar sort of thing with the Harry Potter one in the OP - I often can't resist a licensed game just because I want to play as that character (even if they do things in the game that totally oppose what the character would actually do).

The most recent culprit of that and the last licensed game I bought was QoS - I knew, KNEW, it would be shit. And it was.

Things in the film they could of really worked with, focus more on stealth and some mano-a-mano (God I love that phrase) brawls instead of mass gun fights with machine guns in a hotel halfway through a f*cking poker game.

Arkham Asylum was perfect because it looked at the f*cking character. The character is your main selling point - you should be bollocks deep in info on them: how they behave, what underwear they wear, how often they shave their balls (on reflection, perhaps not) - then you build the game around the character, don't build the character around the game and then use some pretty shitty tech to sort of sculpt their face - especially when you've had entire Dev Diaries on 'capturing' the look and feel of the characters *cough* QoS *cough* .

In depth character creation. I can spend an hour sometimes more doing facial textures..hair styles..costumes etc etc etc. And on many occasions have even been know to flat out dump a game and restart if it doesn't look how i wanted it too rendered in game. Even if I'm a few levels in already.
I have the exact same thing, I've spent hours perfecting my character in Oblivion.

Pokemon games. They are the same every time but I must buy.
This is true for me too ><

I even bought those crappy Ranger and Mystery Dungeon ones :(
That makes two of us. The majority of my DS games are Pokemon themed (although I rarely buy games for DS). Oh, and Monster Hunter. I love that game series.

I must be the good guy the first time through a game, I must buy a game with Final Fantasy on it, I must buy pre owned games because they are like 5-20 euro and I always suck at sport games but thats it for me.

Nintendo consoles. Let's just say my Wii is rather 'dusty', and yet it's the only current gen console which I've owned since day 1.

Playing RPGs as myself, making the exact descisions I would make in real life and making skinny, pale creations in the character creation screen that usually look like an emaciated zombified verson of myself.

Damn Fallout 3 chins, I cna never get it to look right...

Hype. I know logically it is better not to get excited for upcoming games, but when I watch the trailer for Assassin's Creed 2, I just can't help myself.

RPGs with NO kid characters. I would love jrpgs if it weren't for the character design.
Survival horrors where your character isn't useless/

ANY cheap game, Endwar was £10 so I bought it. Dark Sector war £5 so I bought it, Viking Battle for Asguard was £10 so I bought it. There are so many more.
Damn cheap games!
seconded, especially with new, GOOD games becoming progressivley cheaper (most games released within the last year are now about 40 bucks where I live) it's getting harder and harder to resist the amazing bargains, even though I'm saving up for a new arcade stick (old one broke somehow :[ )

Any city-builder or historical trade sim, no matter how mediocre, I always buy them and always end up going back to Patrician 3 and Tropico/SimCity 4 because they're better examples of the genre.
