Crackdown. You can pick it up now for virtually nowt in most games stores. Still one of the best game for 360

Would you prosecute a man with tourettes for swearing at a police officer? This is essentially the same thing taken to the nth degree. This guy genuinely had no understanding of his actions because he does not understand the world in the same way other people would. Extraditing a mentally ill...

None of the mob got arrested because they didn't actually do anything. In Britain we have a loose definition of 'mob'. they knocked on his door and called the police. I also don't think all 50 were at his house at the same time. Had they broken in or something they would have been arrested

To get this you have to understand 'the national mood' in the UK right now. At the time he posted this there was a sense of shock that this had happened and a massive coming together of people in the Welsh town April disappeared in (I'm not even going to try and spell it!). Then this...

Its true, our barrier to entry is the ability to read the instructions on the box. /facepalm. Having more knowledge then the other people living in your house just means you live with dumb arses. What does not liking minecraft have to do with anything. I don't like minecraft either, but...

The main argument for consoles over pcs is simple. If i buy an Xbox 360 game and place it in my Xbox 360 it will work. If I buy a PC game and put it in my mid range laptop it will not work on anything but low settings. The barrier to entry for PC gaming is that much higher. It's all very well...

Yes he did. Source Robin Lane Fox, Fellow of New College, Oxford University. He just didn't use as many as people think and most died trying to cross the mountains :/

The thing that's really bothered me is that this film was on the internet for months before this all kicked off. If that doesn't show it was a pretext then I don't know what does. The film should never have been put out incidentally. It's offensive and racist, so whilst it's existence can...

The idea that Hitler was a great leader. Flawed on every level but one. He was a phenomenal orator. He couldn't write (see meine Kampf), he couldn't organize a war or intelligence service (read any of the Ben Macintyre books on WWII spies, in fact read them anyway) and he couldn't run...

On the escapist the only adverts I get at the top of pages etc (i seem to remember third party advertising for games on some videos) are for series on the escapist. Whilst I'm not complaining I am bemused. Is this because I'm in the UK and we have some kinda code of general decency for...

The biggest problem here is that GAME and Gamestation are either owned by or are the same company. One going will eventually murder the other. Then Gamestop can sidle in and screw us over too. Because that's fun.

FFX really annoyed me the first time around. Played FFXII first and loved it so maybe that has something to do with it. Voice acting was horrible, story didn't really click with me and I HATED the whole no apparent enemies then screen explodes into random battle thing. I mean it's acceptable on...

I'm a creationist up to a point, I take the view that evolution is possible (and likely) but that we don't all come from a common ancestor. I'm perfectly happy that in a thousand years a Tiger could be a little cat, not so happy it could be a whale. Admittedly I'm not a biologist and I go to a...

Definitely not. For me open world games can never be GOTY and apparently Skyrim is a tad buggy. It's competition is too fierce so it'll win categories but not GOTY. I mean Rayman Origins looks like a more perfect example of it's genre. Then again i hated Oblivion so feel free to disregard...

Mine tried to force me to do AS french a year early having only scraped a b in GCSE French the previous year. That went well and I eventually won. Had to get parents in once which culminated in banning an IT teacher from talking to me. Not a great loss as I could do a damn site more with...
