Which is better, Beowulf: the Legend or Beowulf the movie game?

Which is better, a chocolate shake or a coca-cola?

These two games have nothing in common beyond a name similarity. The Legend is probably best described as a push-your-luck game while The Movie is a mathematical exercise. Both games are entertaining, but your personal tastes will probably cause you to prefer one to the other.

Better for what?

Legend is probably a better 'social' type game.

Movie is probably a more intense brain burner and somewhat dryer.

I'd recommend both though.

Beowulf: The Legend. I don't like my games as being referred to as dry and brain-burners.
