    Human rights groups played various games to see if any broke humanitarian laws that govern what is a war crime.
    Muppets. I bet they were cr@p players.
    Rule #76: No excuses. Play like a champion.

        Ah, I see.

        That will certainly hinder performance.

          “Video games dont influence kids, if pac man had affected us as kids, we'd all be running around in darkened rooms, munching magic pills and listening to repetitive electronic music”.

          Can't find a source of the quote. Sorry.

            I hate it when articles open "x has come under fire..." and then you find out they only meant it metaphorically. Same with "blasted".

              Have you played UN Mandate on the XBox. It's a corker. Hours spent checking text to ensure the symantics are correct to get the document through the security council. Then and only then should you cosider the next game. Rules Of Engagement where your heavily armed squaddies can't help people being shot right in front of them.
              Rule Number 1 - Assuming that you have a valid contract in place always try to get your poo onto your timesheet, provided that the timesheet is valid for your current contract and covers the period of time that you are billing for.

              I preferred version 1!

                The study was carried out by two Swiss human rights organisations - Trial and Pro Juventute. Staff played the games in the presence of lawyers skilled in the interpretation of humanitarian laws.
                No but I have played 'Battlefield: Bad Company' where the objective is to steal your opponents gold by means of battle, admittedly the Swiss didn't do the fighting but were quite happy to store the loot.
                Science isn't about why, it's about why not. You ask: why is so much of our science dangerous? I say: why not marry safe science if you love it so much. In fact, why not invent a special safety door that won't hit you in the butt on the way out, because you are fired. - Cave Johnson
