Keep On (Taco) Truckingnew
I love entry-level capitalism at its most chaotic, where the barriers to doing business are on the wispy side of minimal, where two dozen oddball eating places can be launched for less money than it would take to open a single outlet of Burger King.

'Rainbow Six Vegas 2' is Not Quite a Pot of Goldnew
Sometimes one botched sequel is enough to send the money train off the tracks. Ubisoft Montreal's latest is not that sequel -- in fact, it's quite enjoyable -- but arguably not as good as the first Vegas and not a great example of the company's desire to create engaging characters and storylines.
