I reckon Jack Thompson was that kid in the arcade who always got pushed out of the way by bigger kids when he wanted to play Pong.

Worst game ever: You're a clockwork pidgeon and have to make pie out of space aliens and you do so by exploring space roadways for the alien roadkill. And all the graphics are 18-bit and the controls are backwards for pure frustrating confusion.

I think some of the accusations made against videogames are pretty dumb. Not every gamer is a violent sociopath who delights in games where you can beat people to death with table lamps. OK, I loved hitting people with the wrench in Bioshock, but they were deadly psychopathic mutants, not...

Let's see: As a young kid watching a friend playing RE1 I was terrified of the zombie turning around when you first go in the mansion. The school in general in SH1, especially those squeking ghost things. And then that bit later when you go into a room and are like "ok, nothing here, all...
