Yes, many videogames offer numerous sequences that require the player to think on their feet and have quick reflexes, but how many times are you required to act wholly on a feeling ofinstinct? Instinct is a complicated unlearned biological response that sometimes determines a person’s morality, so maybe that is why it is hard to implement into something as relatively simple as a videogame....

In what may have stumped Electronic Arts for the title of “most insane promotional stunt ever,” THQ yesterday filled a car with 100 copies ofRed Faction: Guerrillaand then parked it in the middle of London, encouraging passers-by to “smash and grab” to get their hands on one. A sledgehammer was chained next to the car, and anybody lucky enough to be near the spectacle could crack open the vehicle and get a free game....
