    Judge in Minnesota Games Case Reviews Xbox Firsthand

    This is fascinating detail of a case I'm otherwise tired of hearing about: Federal District Court Judge James Rosenbaum, who is presiding over the case over a pending law in which $25 fines will be issued to underaged purchasers of M-rated games, asked a court clerk to bring an Xbox and several games into the courtroom.

    The article doesn't mention which games he was playing, but GamePolitics speculates light-heartedly:

    There's no word on how well Federal District Court Judge James Rosenbaum did at Jade Empire or whether he preferred Full Spectrum Warrior to Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six 3.

    I would honestly be interested to know what games he played and what he thought of them, but the AP article is regrettably barren of that sort of detail, much like the vast expanse of hair-matted linoleum in the employee showers here at the Kotaku Building. I made the mistake of looking for the loofah one time. I found it cringing behind the sanitary napkin disposal canister, pewling weakly and dribbling a sort of orange mucus.
