Hopefully Romero's latest game Gauntlet: Seven Sorrows is pretty good, 
because looking at the previews of it it really did look kick ass, I hope 
the gameplay is as cool. I'm curious as to what Romero's next project will 
be, since he really seems to have a lot of bad luck. What I don't 
understand is why the press still hounds him after all these years. I mean, 
yeah, the "make you his bitch" ads were an extremly bad idea, but come on, 
that's so 1990's.
