'All three consoles are really good,' Mr. Hollenshead said by telephone from Id's base in Mesquite, Tex. 'But as far as basic capacity, Xbox just wins out in certain areas. It flat-out offers more capability.' That is a crucial distinction, Id and a number of other game developers are beginning to say aloud. Some, like Mark Rein, vice president of Epic Games, say that Xbox is the only console that can serve as an adequate showcase for the artistry and complexity of his company's graphically complex games. A coming game from Epic, Unreal Championship 2: The Liandri Conflict, will be played only on Xbox.

Sam Taylor-Wood was born in 1967 and graduated from Goldsmiths College in 1990. Her work in photography and film is distinguished by an ironic and subversive use of these media, and by its compulsive examination of the place of the individual within the social group. In films such as Ascension (2003), and photographs such as Bound Ram (2001) and Sleep (2002), Taylor-Wood explores the boundaries between the sacred and the profane, fusing religious imagery informed by Renaissance and Baroque painting with the secular, urban and contemporary landscape that she inhabits.
