It looks like Sony have vandalised an important landmark in Amsterdam in order to promote a new game (hat-tip: Dina).It probably seemed like a fun idea to Sony's marketing department, but I do hope they will be prosecuted harshly, because...

The kids got a shared Wii Fit Plus for Christmas, and I have been using it too, mostly once they're finally in bed.I'm OK at many things and quite bad at others, as could be expected.In general, I seem to...
