Sid Meier's Civilization: Revolution Review
While PC gaming's cup runneth over with strategy titles, it's a cruelly under-represented genre on consoles. Mapping a menu-laden control system to a pad then convincing trigger-happy 360 gamers that these are games they should play has obviously proved a task of Herculean proportions. Indeed, you can count the number of decent and successful console strategy games in the last ten years on one hand. Doffed caps to Firaxis, then, for making such a good fist of bringing its legendary turn-based empire-builder to 360.
The 4th Kind
As a huge sceptic I took this film with a pinch of salt, however I did enjoy the fictional aspects of the movie and as a horror story in its own right. Often the truth is far more frightening than reality...
Great Apes by Will Self
The author's pseudonym should give ample clues as to what direction the plot of this story takes. It is a well thought out and extremely well researched satire, written with such skill that the pages turn themselves...

Breckenridge Colorado Votes to Legalize Marijuana

Marijuana legal in Breckenridge? Not exactly.

Breckenridge, Colorado is drawing a lot of attention after Measure 2F (which removes criminal penalties in the town code for possession of marijuana) was approved by a nearly three to one margin. The "yes" vote was 73% compared to 27% voting "no". Breckenridge has roughly 3,300 voters.
The ordinance also removes criminal penalties for the possession of bongs, pipes and other drug paraphernalia, but did not change laws against smoking marijuana in public, the use of the drug by minors, or DUI related offenses.
Sea McAllister stated it was his view that the "voters demonstrated that Breckenridge citizens overwhelmingly believe that adults should not be punished for making the safer choice to use marijuana instead of alcohol."
The measure's victory is considered symbolic because it conflicts with state and federal laws and the state and federal laws automatically override it. Supporters of the measure, however, say it inches the whole state closer to full legalization.
It is not expected to affect Breckenridge Ski Resorts as most are on U.S. Forestry Service property and covered by federal law. In fact a spokesperson stated that, “We take safety as our highest priority. Anything that's in violation of the skier safety act is something we take very seriously."
