If you were to ask most New Mexicans - or even most Americans - to name the most strange, controversial and wildly celebrated place in our entire state, chances are the name of one town would be mentioned again and again: Roswell.

Over the past 10 years, a lot of games have come out that let the player choose between being good and evil. Some of these games have been spectacularly good, such as BioWare's "Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic." A few have been somewhat less spectacular, as in the case of the overhyped "Fable."

by Rhian Hibner Daily Lobo If you want to completely destroy someone, "Ocean's Thirteen" would be a good place to look for pointers. Revenge is always a good way to get a movie going, but all too often, the execution falls flat. Typically, the hero gets into one of Hollywood's signature unrealistic fight scenes.
On a rolling desert plain, shabby with yellow grass and sagebrush, a large, white, oval-shaped object falls through the sky at an estimated speed of 200 to 300 mph - bouncing and skidding across the desert before exploding into a shower of fiery debris.
