How do you pronounce "Infogrames", anyway? Is it like a "telegram"? Did someone accidentally include that "R"? If not, what the hell is a "grame"? Why do horses wear shoes? Are there horse socks? Is anybody listening to me?

I'll tell you who it was, it was that damned sasquatch!

"Allow me to deal with Acheron as I see fit."

messiah would have been cool, if the main character was cool...but NO it was a baby in heavenly diapers. the best part was when you could jump into the hookers body or whatever.

they should pay more attention to the back of the character models skin in 3rd person games, considering its what you see ALL THROUGH THE GAME.

delisting notice isn't that big of a deal. Normally companies pull off something to get their stock back up or play nice with Nasdaq and they'll grant them continued listing. Audible.com did it (ADBL). And since then they've made me $1600.
