    British Teachers Still Blaming Games for Schoolyard Violence

    It's not the games, or rather not the industry. All those violent games that are supposed to be inspiring this (as well as the film and tv) have age ratings that should advise the moronic parents not to let the kids play or watch them. When I was in primary school they were blaming Power...

    The French speak French, the Spanish speak Spanish, The English speak?

    I've heard of "The Queen's English"/Received Pronounciation but never British English. I speak to quote from Blackadder "demotic Anglo-Saxon" or the "post-Norman tongue", which is basicaly old German with a lot of French some Latin and the occasional Asian word thown in for good luck (this is...

    How tall are you?

    Yes he's supposed to be but he wasn't. Stems from a Georgian cartoon of him, I think he was taller than Wellington, but I could be wrong. I am a shortish 5'5" although this is the alleged average height for women in the UK (I think everyone else where's heels)

    LittleBigPlanet 2 Goes Gold, Gets Euro Release Date

    Am I the only one who's noticed that certain things come out on certain days (at least in the UK)? Dvd's come out on Mondays, Films are released on Thursdays and games are Fridays. I don't think this was even Sony's decision, it's just that the 21st is the closest Friday to all the other...

    The New Buffy Movie Has a High Bar To Clear

    So WB have finally decided to cash in on the new vmpire trend, can't say I'm surprised. The reboot could go either way and I will attempt to reserve judgement until I see it. btw Me for a start, just because you didn't appreciate Buffy as a role model doesn't mean that none of the rest...

    Preview: Fable 3

    I find it amusing that Fable is such a Marmite series. Of course I also think that we gamers are much more critical than devotees of other mediums, but that might just be the view from the inside. OT: I'm liking the new menus and everything, think it's a bit daft that we'll have to unlock...

    InstantAction CEO: Retailers Are "Parasites and Thieves"

    People buy used games because they're cheaper QED. Or because they're ancient and no longer available new. Enough new games get bought that it doesn't matter that much. And as for the other industries. I'm fairly sure less people buy used DVD's and books than games. Cause you don't have...
