Yesterday I tried x-men legends 2, a game from 2005, and was surprised to see it running at 30fps on outdoor scenes and at 60fps indoor. Its so rare to see 60fps on the gma that I had to say it :) Have you tried UT2003 or 2004? I noticed it's on the compatibility list and there's no special note or anything, so I'm curious to know how it would perform.
