    Hey, that was Tony Hawk's Underground 2 that you're thinking of. The first underground actually had skateboarding and law-breaking and all of that good stuff.

    lol at MGS2. It can't escape scrutiny ever.

    +1 for the jab at MGS2 at the end I actually remember David Jaffe offering some serious commentary on this subject over on his blog a week or two back, saying that he would take back the cover for Twisted Metal: Black because he didn't feel it captured what the game was about (batsh*t crazy vehicle combat)

    I thought Manhunt 2 cover was good. I laughed at MGS2, lol "oh for F*CK sake" lol. Great artical David M.

    yep all these games are misleading except manhunt that one is obviously a game of killing, and my thoughts of red alert were the same thing as here Recaptcha! attention geisha
