(MS) - Ask most people to state their
least-favorite things about the holidays,
and traveling could very well top the
list. After weeks of waiting on long lines
at shopping malls searching for the per
fect gift, no one wants to battle traffic on
highways or at other travel hubs.
Thanks to increased security measures
around the globe, long wait times may
await holiday travelers at airports and
train and bus stations, leaving them
with lots of time to fill.
For those going away for the holidays,
here are a few ways to make the trip
enjoyable and more memorable:
• Become a Super Hero or Super
Villain. Nothing says "escapism" more

enter an alternate universe and assume
an alternate identity. So while you might
be waiting on the seemingly endless
baggage check line, you can simultane
ously be battling the Green Goblin in
Activision's Spider-ManTM: Battle for
New York (ESRB-rated "E10+": every
one 10+ with cartoon violence) hand

mails or stock quotes on your cell phone
while you wait for your flight, take the
time to unwind by immersing yourself
in an original storyline which builds
upon the legendary comic
book rivalry between
Spider-Man and his
arch nemesis, the
Green Goblin. | d

gaming while on the go by deliver

on how much you wish you'd left a
day earlier, you can reflect on some
of the better times of your youth by
taking a trip down memory lane with
your Play Station PortableTM. If that's
not nostalgic enough, you'll love the
accompanying music, as Activision Hits
Remixed also features an 80's themed
soundtrack, modernized front-end
