I think arguments can be made that he knows how to put together an entertaining action flick albeit it may be missing some serious IQ. Stranglehold came onto the scene... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~408136158852 Tue, 20 Nov 2007 01:02:12 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_408136158852?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_352382062212?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author SParkfan77 - Why does it seem that people today can't just enjoy a good gaming romp every now and then?

In an age where we expect instant gratification in just about any facet of our lives, it was only a matter of time that this principle bled into games.

At least that&#146s how it looks in suburbia New York, where the only other thing you&#146ll find from Texas is a jar of El Paso salsa.
