I’ve bought two new games for the Xbox 360: *Ghost Recon: Advanced Warfighter* (G.R.A.W.) and *Rockstar Games presents Table Tennis*. If lost something like 11:1 and 11:0 in my first online tabletennis game.
After having seen the movie Black Hawk Down (2001) two weeks ago with my brother, G.R.A.W. is very scary to play. It feels very much like you’re in the movie. I think we’ve become ingrained with the US army’s command language, so that sound samples of orders and acknowledgements – “Moving out now!” or “Green light!” – take us back into the movies. Plus the extra glare and strong contrasts remind me of Black Hawk Down, too.
And the game is damn hard, too. On the normal level, you can take three hits. Argh!

Apropos games being hard. From the FAQ of the vertical shooted Chromium B.S.U.
Q: I keep getting killed. Why is is so difficult?
A: Quitcher whinin’, you ninny! It’s supposed to be hard! Seriously, Chromium B.S.U. is intended to be a 15 minute adrenaline rush/mental cleanser. Frequent doses of explosions (even your own) can be very therapeutic.¹
