Snakes On A Plain Biscuit

You’ve seen the movie Snakes On A Plane, right? No, me neither. It is by all accounts a terrible film however, that only got made due to internet hype that never translated into ticket sales.

This reminds me of the games industry, and its laughable attempts to convince governments and mainstream media that it mass produces valid art.

The first thing I’d like to do in this article is shamelessly plug the recently launched CG forum, which you can find at www.soapboxgamers.co.uk or by clicking the ‘forum’ link at the top of the page.

Are you ready?

I really liked Deus Ex: Invisible War.
