Daggerfall.

I suggest, in all seriousness, going and learning about the 1870 education reforms in Britain and the driving force behind them. I suggest, in all seriousness, instead of making snide comments you actually attempt to debunk my analysis. Did opposition not come from big business being afraid...

So the consistently poor service, endemic corruption and shockingly bad business decisions made by state owned services are entirely the fault of the mean old private sector? State-owned enterprises are administered by pro-capitalist politicians with a vested interest in propping up private...

Do you now, or have you ever, lived in the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland? I am a UK citizen and have been for all of my 27 years. Have you ever had to deal with any publically owned institution? Inneficiency, waste, and incompetence are endemic in almost every one of...

We've already got the Welfare state, although it doesn't seem to be working too well. We could increase the taxes on the rich and reduce those on the poor even further, but then again that could be taken too far. Some people say it's already being taken too far. Families that earn more than a...

I don't think games are getting more violent, I think the violence in games is getting more realistic. Look at the weapons you could use in Turok 2 - a horrific arsenal, but the N64's graphics made it pretty much cartoony.

Listen, right. The Kinks are fucking awesome. After leading off with them, Yahtzee could have took a poo on on my treasured copies of Tetris DX, Advance Wars and Street Fighter 2 Turbo and I'd still be smiling.

No key hunting in Doom? Fail!

For a minute I thought you were going to offer him Hot Coffee :D

I'm afraid I have to disagree with this summary... A verbal contract is made in which consent is granted conditionally, sex takes place and money is handed over (either could happen first), after which a crime is committed - which not only is a direct logical extension of the balance of power...

Why are you persistently assigning to me these absurd comparisons that bear no resemblance to anything I've said? Consent was granted on the understanding of renumeration, a condition which was broken. Consent is thereby withdrawn. If I put a DVD in my bag on the understanding that I'll give...

Not only does beating up a prostitute to take back her pay constitute a breach of the terms by which consent was granted (buy a PS3 and force the clerk to return your money at gunpoint before leaving the store and it's likely the shop will press charges for theft and robbery no matter how much...

I'm making a general comment on the GTA series, which seems to be one of gaming's sacred cows. Pundits seem to give each release unrealistically high marks based purely on the fact that they aim higher than most games, despite the fact that as crime simulators not only are they aiming very low...

The GTA series to date have not been good crime simulators by any stretch of the imagination. There goes the player, murdering their way through bystanders, raping* their way through the sex worker population without protection (and coming out of it in better health). Here comes the police...

I'll give this review a 7.
