"The releationship between games and films"

I find it very annoying sometimes when I read the newspapers and find that the goverment refers to games as childrens toys and things that children grow out of. How is this? How is this when we have 18 certificates on games? How is this when the most owners of playstations and n64's are over 20? Instead of refering to these games as childish toys, they should be encouraging them as the way forward in entertainment. When watching films like James Bond films and action films like that, I know most people that watch them enjoy believing they ARE Bond. Games make this possible by letting us become the lead character, letting us become the hero. An excellent example of this is Half-Life on the PC. It is a very involving gamwith an excellent plot and a great hero. This is what we want in games, something that we can believe that we are involved in. Something that makes us believe when we play the game, that the monster is running towards us, and we MUST fire that gun or be killed. Something that gets our heartbeat racing. THAT is what makes a game better than a film.

Tony, I still haven't received the email and I don't think I will, so now I don't have anything apart from this female account of which I can't change the name. I think the server doesn't send the email to another.com accounts..

..just thought I should let you know.

Thanks
er-no

P.S is it final that I have lost my old account?

Heh. Past that stage... haven't entered the one where I have to graffiti my name everywhere...

(Nothing quite like replying to all the topics to show your name on all the topics though, is there?)

Oh God no... that's great fun. :D

(*sigh*)

Get strange urges to write GRIX all over the tube stations.

He remembered.

Ironically, I admit to a poor memory in the post below. S'true then obviously.

Wow. It's been over a year since my first win...

That's quite a strange feeling.

Out of interest, how did Ali find out? Address matching, or did he remember?

Expect Sniper any minute to say "what clue?"

I managed to find the enter key as well.
