Yesterday, I want into stockport town centre and bought Wreckless and Wrestlemania.

No, no, that isn't what I'm afraid to admit, although it IS a crime in itself.

I'm actually enjoying them both.

Wrestlemania is a little Smackdown clone, which is more than what I exected for £4, and I've certainly enjoy smacking those sweaty men around the ring so far.

And Wreckless? It's unreponsive, got missions ranging from easy to impossible (without a bit of luck) and is far more enjoyable than the original Burnout.

For £9, though, it can't be bad.

I won't give you the retailer, as Snuggly will hyperventilate and ban me, but you can surely guess.

I don't know what channel 5 you watch, but the one I watch consists of lesbians. YEY!

I was going to get wreckless last week, but I chose Smuggler's Run instead. I've had Wrestlemania from release and I still play it. I think it's better than the Smackdown series. You feel more freedom on the game and the Hell in a Cell can't be beaten.

Cardiff had two EB stores and one Game store. They both sold DVD racks which held 15 games/DVDs. On those were printed Electronic's Boutique or Game depending on where they were bought. The pictures on the packaging were exactly the same, as were the products.

When I joined the company in October 2002 on temporary employment, I had to fill out a 'New Starters' form. On it was a question, "Which brand?" to say which 'name' I'm working for, and had the choice of EB and Game.

They were the same company, Game Group (though they called themselves EB Group in the past) - they just dumped the American name.

Incorrectomondo.

EB was part of Game in the UK anyway - the only difference being the name itself. Game were paying Electronic's Boutique in the US of A for the name, but Game decided that their own name was selling better in the UK.

I'm getting more and more into WX8, however much of a Smackdown clone it is.

I'm always the rock.

With anyone else it just isn't cricket
