The aspect of Burnout Revenge that I loved was that I didn't have to be a good player in race games. Revenge allowed you to crash into almost anyone in the game; in fact in many of the races - crashing was encouraged.
That anarchist aspect is lacking from Dominator. Now you have to be a pretty talented racer to make it through the levels. No hitting other traffic, unless it is one of the computer controlled opponents, or another player.
And the CRASH event is totally missing from this installment of the series. Replaced by the MANIAC event. NOT a fair trade.
Also, the cars are assigned during every race, the only choice is the color.
If you are a skilled racer, with no wrecks, then this will be an enjoyable game. If you aren't quite as nimble in steering with an analog control, this game may frustrate you.
Burnout Revenge is the best in the series; so far.

Subversive, Fun and Educational?
I first saw this film years ago, and have been waiting for a DVD release; but sadly it doesn't look like it will get one. So if you still view VHS then this will have to do.
An exceptional film by director Ken Russell. This film subverts religion in a similar way that "Altered States" subverted science. Russell's plot devices and bizarre/non-traditional imagery are used to great effect. Based on actual events, but with artistic license in the interpretation; it is historic and satiric... and great fun.
Oliver Reed and Vanessa Redgrave are a thrill to watch. If you enjoy dark comedy then you'll probably enjoy this.

Relax with Spyro
Spyro is an excellent game for younger players. Simple concept and action, no adult content.
The game play is simple enough for pre-teen players, but still enough of a challenge to keep the older players interested. Simple quests; like collect all the jewels or rings. No threatening time limits, at least none in the first few levels that I can remember.
And the over-all cuteness of the game has to count for something :)
