Max Payne is one of the greatest games ever made. It played like a movie. Only flaw is that it was too easy and only took a few hours to beat.

Never got the Mortal Combat craze. Was a second rate Street Fighter, and the creator of that laughed all the way to the bank.

I couldn't recommend Book Of Shadows any higher.  That one is just a Zakk album, no band name.  It's laid back, just fantastic songwriting.  A lot of things are up on youtube, if you wanna get an idea, I'd start poking around there.

I've described Pride And Glory as Skynnrd meets Sabbath, for about 15 years now, if that sounds like something you'd be into it's definitely worth picking up.

Sonic Brew and Stronger Than Death are my two favorite BLS albums, but even the worst ones are pretty good.
