■ 08/02/08 - 25 to Life 25 to Life has taken quite a bashing from critics in recent months, who generally regard the game as an oversimplified, unrealistic first person shooter. But I say: who cares whether or not shooting 300 cops is realistic (or ethical, for that matter)?
■ 03/04/07 - 25 to Life Completing Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas was a satisfying experience. One of the best aspects of the game is that you always feel the urge to keep on playing.
