What games have you guys installed on your Hard Drives?

I've read that Halo3 actually loads SLOWER with the install. It would copy the map info from the DVD to the HD, but now it's copying the maps from the HD to another spot of the HD... hopefully the newer games will take advantage of installs or at least be coded to do so.

Thus far I've got:
Gears of War 2 (and it did help some on load times)
Smackdown vs Raw 2009 (it really helped this game a lot)
Mercenaries 2 (seems like less stuff pops up - load times are a smidgen faster)
NBA Live 09 (load times are better)

SD vs RAW 09 seen the best upgrade in performance. Only other game I've installed was Gears of War 2, which helped some but not as much as SD vs RAW 09.

SVR is a load heavy beast and now the load times are freaking great.

If you don't do the Entrances the load time from the screen select to the game is literally seconds. It's awesome.

Yeah, I was able to fly through the Triple H portion of Road to WM last night and did 2 weeks of John Cena.

MLB 2k8 took up the rest of my HD :)
In what regards to "crisper" does running 2k8 off the hard drive do help wise?
The throws from infielders/outfielders are smoother - not as jaggy/stuttery as on disk.. Also, it seems the models themselves seem to be better looking on HD..

Since I only have the 20 gig, I put 2k8 and NHL 09 on the drive.. of course, only have little extra to put stuff on there now :confused2:
