    This Day in Gaming, February 23rd

    1998: Twelve Tokyo gamers are arrested for stealing over $15,000 from senior citizens and later spending the money on arcade games. (They were arrested for the stealing, not the spending). But I ask you...is this really the fault of the minors, or a system built around arcades titles that are just too expensive for the average allowance to cover?

    2005: Eidos Interactive releases Project: Snowblind for Xbox and PS2 in the US. Good game...like Deus Ex. I'm sorry, my heart just isn't in this one. I need to get in some more Crackdown before bed. Mark Wilson
