Don't get me wrong, I love the beautiful game - Saints, obviously - but anyone else had enough of the incessant World Cup hype? Listening to the radio this morning was something else. Weather reports from Germany, presenters moaning about last night's sauerkraut and tedious interviews with hungover fans at campsites were only the start. You'd think England were playing Brazil in the final rather than Trinidad and bloody Tobago in the group stages such was the hysterical coverage.
Luckily today's Technology supplement cares little for events in Germany, getting all excited about other stuff instead. What concerns us, obviously, is the games coverage and there are some goodies to be found. The reviews give the three games - Brain Training, Moto GP 06, Rise of Legends - four stars each. So all good games then, but I'd personally mark the latter two down for not including a word memorisation element.
Elsewhere there is an article about griefers in online games, while Aleks looks at sex and games and wonders why films can get away with so much more. "It seems extraordinarily inconsistent that a love scene in a movie only garners a 15 rating, but sexual activity in a game is bumped up to an 18," she says.
