It's a casual first-person shooter, and it's very easy to get the hang of - use the mouse to aim, click to fire.

boxee is really cool but can be a bit jerky in the play back for some reason. I run parrells on my mac so I also use Jaksta (www.jaksta.com) to download shows over night and then watch them later. Im a House fan so I also convert the stream from Hulu using Jaksta automatically to Ipod format and then I just transfer it from parralles to the mac and sync with itunes and my phone and I watch it on the train on the way to work. Works a treat. HTH
