I played through that Raving Rabbids game at my friend's house before. It took me two nights and the others were content to just watch me rage at the hard mini-games. I have to say the ending was very unsatisfactory.  Shooting rabbids with plungers is fun though.

These beings are now playing through "Empire: Total War" and generally meddling in how the history of the world happened.

I'll admit that some of the minigames were decent, but it's so far removed from what earlier Rayman games were about that I can't help but hate it. I recently installed some old Disney videogames again: Aladdin, The Lion King and Hercules. what surprised me was how challenging the first two games are, especially Lion King. However, Hercules was even easier than I remembered it being, and I was able to do a complete playthrough in about an hour. Then I replayed it on the highest difficulty, with pretty much the same results. (Only level 6 gave me any real trouble.) This signature makes the preceeding post about 20% cooler.

Hercules the 2D platform game? I used to play it often as a kid but I never went further than the underworld gauntlet level.

Hooray, a game I have played (though only on Super Nintendo and quite a few years ago now  )! This and The Jungle Book are pretty much my limit. All went downhill for me from the moment I touched a Playstation and played Crash Team Racing. Pathetic at using a controller = Farseer. Although, I wasn't too bad with Sheep, Dog 'n' Wolf for a time...

I'm not sure what you mean by a "gauntlet" level. Does that refer to those levels that have you running straight ahead? Anyway, the underworld is the next-to-last level, ffollowed by a rather wimpy boss battle against Hades. It struck me how few of the levels are actually traditional 2D platforming action: level 1 (training), level 3 (the forest) and level 4 (Thebes). Other levels have running through a kinda sorta 3D environment or put you in a cylindrical arena (Hydra, Medusa). This signature makes the preceeding post about 20% cooler.

Yeah, I refer to the running levels as gauntlets. Though not perfect, I think the developers behind Hercules did a pretty good job combining the two styles of gameplay. Though to be honest, I never really liked the gauntlets. I found the lack of swordplay to be boring  My favorite level has to be Thebes (the Big Olive.) The Theban citizens are just too funny. I hate the guy with the barrel suspenders, though. And I think a cat gets caught on fire or something-- that was really annoying too.

This is some old news that I missed a while back. A new Legacy of Kain game might - just might be in the works. I love those games, and considering the story's still unfinished...
