How I was exposed as that most superficial of gamers: The Console Collector.
At the AMD consumer briefing last Friday (July 13) in Hollywood, I got to play with an AMD Phenom-based system.

Ian McNaughton of AMD was taking this amazing new (Midway) game, called Stranglehold through its paces. Directed by John Woo, and starring an on-screen visage of Chow Yun-Fat, this game allows, indeed, it requires that you blast everything in sight.
It was all good.....until he (Ian) asked me to take over game play.
Where I promptly froze!
Oh well, as my friend Manni always says: He who dies with the most toys, wins.
So there!
