You might have read last weeks story on how Texan police have used the promise of free Xbox 360s to lure fugitive crimials out of hiding. While its a downright hilarious example to round off the year with, 2007 has been crammed like an over-crowded prison with tales of videogame-related crime.
Of course, were not talking about games themselves inciting violent outbursts in those who play them (Calm down Jack!). No, rather this year has seen a staggering amount of crime stories
Konami have surprised exactly no-one with the announcement of Winning Eleven 8, the latest in their critically and popularly acclaimed footy series. Details are scarce at the moment, but we can tell you that Master League mode will feature 130+ playable teams (up from 64) and a new "growth and decline" system that seems to be some sort of constantly updated handicapping system.

Mark your calendars, because March 10, 2009 will go down in history as the day that the best issue of the Official Xbox Magazine hit newsstands. That’s right. Next to money, OXM’s April, 2009 issue will be the most valuable thing that’s been printed on paper. Ever.

Rockstar has released a posse of new images and movies from its upcoming sidewalk scrapper The Warriors.
Besides slugging it out with rival gangs - and as we reported in our - players will be offered a variety of criminal distractions to keep them busy, namely robbing stores and stealing car stereos.
Both of these crooked activities are shown in the movies below and also demonstrate how 'war chief' commands (orders issued to the crew by the gang leader) can be used during these scenarios
