Great; I love European football from the early post-war decades, years that are no longer heroic, but filled with unforgettable talents, first and foremost those of Grande Torino - which I certainly couldn’t follow: Cruyff (but also Neskeens), the incredibly strong West Germans (Mönchengladbach - of which I just saw an amazing fan in Berlin - but also Bayern, which, like Ajax, racked up 3 European Cups in the '70s - how nostalgic I am for the old, glorious three cups), the stunning Hungary represented by Honvéd (beautiful and never victorious, like Austria and Czechoslovakia from decades earlier), the black spider (the greatest ever in goal), Sir Bobby Charlton in England, and so many others... In Italy? Obviously, I’m an Inter fan, in the name of Facchetti, in the shadow of Captain Zanetti. ;-)

I too, just like her, only the (wonderful) "Music"; but also the tracks sung for the supreme project (besides the immense debut, I adore among others "Stereotomy" and "La Sagrada Familia"). What skill!

Really; it's a shame that this has gone (at least in Italy) so quietly. After all, it gave voice to many great tracks and at least one worldwide hit ("Eye in the sky"). Thank you all.

Masterpiece; and the fantastic sequel is of an disarming charm: spectacular.

The thing that left me perplexed is that, not far away, a painting not exactly unknown and by the same Leonardo, "The Virgin of the Rocks" (which I might prefer to the Mona Lisa), is sitting in its corridor, free from groups of tourists. A great painting, but placed in front of the football field that lies opposite (Veronese? I don’t remember well...) it evokes a bit of irony. ;-)

FIVE A LIFETIME dedicated to the Commandos saga! This and its expansion ("When Duty Calls") had a lot of gameplay flaws in hindsight (for example, it was frustrating and barely satisfying to finish missions by spraying bullets behind a wall – but what a charm in mission 4 of the expansion, "Thor's Hammer").
Commandos 2 ("Men of Courage") solved everything: for me, the greatest game ever (I think I've finished it 6 times, once trying to kill as few people as possible to advance and then letting loose in the bonus missions. I know Colditz Castle almost by heart: such allure). Commandos 3 ("Destination Berlin") was a slight step back, especially regarding "real" missions, but the graphics were stunning: a lot to appreciate. But Commandos 2... what a game; WHAT A GAME!
