If you've got a spare 50 minutes to kill, you could certainly do worse with your time than hunt down Gameswipe on Youtube, a special look at the history of videogames, from their humble beginnings to the "all games are evil" panic in the 90s to their all conquering dominance today, all through the eyes of Fortress favourite Charlie Brooker.
Just as a taster, here's Brooker taking a look at 50 Cent's videogame attempt. What you don't hear is the sound of a million 14 year old 50 fans tearing out their hair in anger whilst watching this clip.

This genre is probably my favourite type of game, the free-roaming "just behind the main character" viewpoint thing. I adored Max Payne and the Punisher, tried to enjoy but didn't know what the fuck I was doing Boba Fett game, played to death the Spider-Man and Hulk games and worshipped arguably the best example - Batman: Arkhym Asylum. As soon as I start a game and its one of these kinds, I know I'll love it. But there's no fucking way I'd even touch this.
