Overlord. And it's expansions.
For that matter, anything with the "Games for Windows" stripe at the top. They all work with the proper gamepad, that of the 360.
As I'm an insensitive clod, I'd simply suggest getting a 360, though it is my understanding that they're full of sausage.
Creativity is not necessarily invention. Invention can't really be properly defined, because the point is to do something new that hasn't been done before, like spraying water into an internal combustion engine with the intention of creating steam to further increase the output of the engine (the article actually listed a true invention, believe it or not, and probably only because it had something to do with gas). Bundling features and calling it an invention is like sticking your favorite colored legos together and saying you've got something nobody's ever done before. Though technically possible, you'll only impress people who've never played with legos.
What exactly can the apple-thing do that one phone or another, or in what appears to be the case of the Nokia E70, a single phone much older then the iPhone, can't also do?
Even if you've got to have ten phones with one different feature each, since when did slapping a bunch of other stuff that's been around forever in a completely consumeristic but not-new way dictate invention? If that's valid, there needs to be a new distinction, "Consumer Invention" - something only a blind consumer will think is an actual invention.
If beauty was the top qualifier for a great invention, things like the Aeolipile almost 2000 years ago would have been completely forgotten in favor of visually pleasing (and fun to touch) nude statuettes....Hmm... The irony of that is people are going to bring up the wiki article on the Aeolipile, and then immediately realize how depressing it is that something like an engine made 40% more efficient by adding water was completely overshadowed by something you poke, and it's been that way for thousands of years.
