I haven't played any of them since the first one, I don't think... but what I find funny is this:

According to the media, we're in a recession... and yet, according to that same media, this game is expected to gross some $300M - IN THE FIRST WEEK. That's what, about 5M copies of the game? If we're in such financial dire straits as a country, then how do they explain that so many people apparently have enough $$$ to spend on video games?
