I agree with the people here, depends on what you're into.

I have NGS and Motorstorm, and they are fun. Mstorm is a fairly good game, thought you really pissed at it somtimes.The AI in the harder levels is COMPLETELY stupid, no matter how good you are, the opponents will catch up to you. Even if you have one of the fastest vehicles, the slow ones will be a foot's length away from you. I havent played online with mstorm yet but I've heard quite a number of them play online.

NGS is a great game, I play the same level again and again sometimes just for the fun of it. Sometimes, but if you play it for a long time continously its gets kind of boring.

Its up to you which one you want. If you have/had a PS2, I suggest you look over your PS2 games, find out which ones are your favorite and then decide. If your fav is Burnout of NFS then but motorstorm, stuff like that. Find out what you like.

You don't have to but you'll feel a little confused with the story and the gameplay.

I HIGHLY recommend that you play MGS3. Not because of unfamiliarity, but because its fun. Its a great game, one of the best of its kind.

photoshop's interface seems far more confusing. GIMP's easy to use interface is what makes it popular, along with its many features.TGFL

Well, I think the new photoshop interface in CS and higher is kind of an advanced version of the previous ones. I think it would be a little hard for a new user of Photoshop to start of with the CS versions. I've been using photoshop and imageready before CS and to me its not that hard. The help files are helful and the tools are well organized.
Also, Photoshop has a lot of advanced tools that GIMP doesn't. Even some professionals use only a fraction of the tools of Photoshop, its not excatly you're simple photo editing software. Its a pro-gadget.

I'm currently using Photoshop and I've used GIMP a few times.

In my opinion, Photoshop is easier to use, it has a simpler design and there are thousands of tutorials for Photoshop on the net. I tried finding some for GIMP and there arnt as many. Also, along with photoshop their are programs like Illustrator and Bridge. I'm kind of bias in this because I've been using Photoshop for a very long time now.

I have to agree with the Bugatti. I also Love the Audi R8 and the new chrysler 300, it is unbelievably comfortable and luxurious.

BTW how do you put pictures in post?

I love FPS and Action/Adventure Games. Especially sci-fi ones or ones about aliens or demons etc.
