Just a brief aside, but has anyone else noticed that the way in which 'points' are delivered ,and contribute towards levelling up, is very similar to a Derren Brown experiment in which he isolates several volunteers and tells them that if a counter above the door reaches a certain number, then a door behind them leading to hundreds of pounds worth of cash will open. Of course, the volunteers try several things to raise the number of the counter and everytime they do something which they believe raises the counter, they keep doing it. Unbeknownst to them, the counter is actually counting the number of times a fish in a water tank is crossing a specific point, so what they are actually doing is making random connections to a totally unrelated counting system. It was a fascinating psychological experiment, and i suppose the point i'm making in a bizarre, rambling, nonsensical way is that it's interesting to see how people try and raise their level on Gamespot and the associations they make. Not so brief was it? Never mind, this is all gold. :)
