  1. After playing the demo for Burnout 4 (xbox), I've started playing Burnout 3 again. Great game for a quick ten minute play.Still going through Splinter Cell Chaos Theory on the xbox, on level ten at the moment.For the pc I'm playing Far Cry again, winning eleven 8LE for ps2 and Hot Shot Golf for the psp.

  2. I think Terje made a comment in the HBK thread about Shawn's work being more accessible than Bret's and I think that applys here too. Because of their lack of substance, all-action nature and simpler use of psychology Angle's matches are far more easily digestible to the masses than Bret's were. Angle is like a blockbuster movie, hugely entertaining, easy and undemanding to watch and a great way to spend ninety minutes or so (or 15-20 in this case) :p But rarely demands repeat viewing and rarely stands the test of time. Bret on the other hand is like a deep character study, bulging with sub-text, his matches are like an emotional roller coaster ride but because of the mentally demanding nature is sometimes not an 'easy watch' but touches you emotionally in ways the blockbuster never could. Its like comparing Martin Scorsese to Jerry Bruckheimer, both undeniably great at what they do but saying the action-hack is superior to the true story teller is just mis-guided.

    Superb analogy (I think that's the right word)
