35 min | 10 min prep | SERVES 6
| 1 | lb mushrooms, sliced |
| 4 | tablespoons butter |
| 2 | tablespoons olive oil |

- Stir in the rice and cook 1 minute, coating rice with the oil.
- Stir in 1 cup of the hot broth and let simmer until the liquid is mostly absorbed, stirring frequently.

- Stir in the mushrooms, cheese and parsley and season to taste.
- Cook till warmed through.
Hellboy Release?
So it looks like the Hellboy II movie won’t be delayed again, scheduled for July 12. Hopefully this means the game is released on June 24, 2008 as also planned.
Looks like it has a new cover:

No idea what this cover is, but it’s on the Aussie distributor’s website

This was on the EB pre-order boxes last month (until those boxes disappeared):

This is one excellent game!
Liberty City Map (using Google Maps)
Getting the “One Man Army” achievement is easy, I used the following method:
- Jumped off the middle bridge just before the blockade, as shown in the first few minutes of this video
- Run towards Manhattan and just keep running until you are underground (ignore that video you don’t even have to shoot)
- Once you are part-way there you will get the 6 wanted stars, just keep running
- Wait 5 minutes
- And you’re done!
