C&C on the PSP. Hillary C. on the GTA.
Frak! The Command & Conquer series is getting ported to the PSP! Lookit Lookit! I've still to decide which handheld to go for, though; as the thought of playing an RTS (Real Time Strategy) game with buttons, even with that navi-stick-thingy the PSP has, looks like a daunting task to even start learning. Hmmm, but EA's behind it, and so far most of their game's interfaces are designed pretty well. Still. Portable RTS gaming. I like.

Sen. Hillary C. is pointing the finger on the GTA series for encouraging kids to have sex with prostitutes and kill them. Hmmm. It's another case of the crime-noir genre and the FPS genre getting the blame for probable causes and motivators for crime and mischief caused by the people who play them. I've played through all the GTA games, and I haven't felt like killing anyone on the streets or out of random, well not when I'm in traffic and a stupid asshole cuts in front of me, or a Jeepney decides to unload/load passengers in the middle of the street, anyway. Hehe! Still. They are looking at the wrong direction. What's funny about this is Rockstar's (the people behind the GTA series) response of agreeing to add condoms to the inventory in the next GTA installment -- without which, apparently players won't be able to have sex with a prostitute. Haha! Talk about sex education.
