It's common knowledge that 65 million years ago an asteroid crashed on earth and life almost went extinct. Only the strong survived and gradually evolved in the present form.

Video games are becoming more popular with the passing of each day. No wonder Apple makes new ones available for its iPod lineup every week (and pretty good ones at that).
