- Re-examining STAR WARS in light of the three prequels. Interesting new interpretations.
- Watch boiling water thrown into the sub-zero air. Cool effect.
- How to win Wii Tennis at any cost. It involves a lot of violence. Assumes a two player game.
- John Carmack prefers the XBox 360.
- Top selling video games of 2006. I own two of the top ten.

the Star Wars thing was really interesting. I have to say the coolest thing about the prequels was coming home after having seen Sith and watching the beginning of A New Hope – it really did put an entirely new frame around everything – especially that ‘first’ meeting between Kenobi and Luke.
of course there’s no way Lucas could have worked all this out (could he?), but it’s an awesome way to read more back into the story.

A book, Aug. C’mon the Leonard Maltin Guide for Comic Books… or “Rantings of a Reality Junkie…”
Top Vid Games – 4 (5 if you count my wife’s DS)
Star Wars – Good stuff!!! A new slant, I like it.. Unfortunately, Jar Jar wasn’t around for option #3…
