*SNIP*

2 cents:

Final Fantasy was the first Interactive Movie that was actually fun to
play/watch. Metal Gear Solid was the first Interactive Movie that you
actually _could_ play. Regarding Baldur's Gate 2, I say play Curse of
the Azure Bonds instead (regarding Diablo, I say play Gateway to Apshai
instead).

(...yes, I may sound cryptic, but if you think twice about what I said,
you might understand.)
