Which HP game are you referring to here Carrey? The one Phil mentioned isn't due out until sometime in June I think. Also, is the one you mention available for PC, or a video game console only? Thanks, Che

That's really amazing. Do you think there is other accessible games out to the wii? Mortal Combat and fight knight rounds would be really cool to play on a wii. Maybee some 3d shooters would be accessible? Best regards Søren.
