Beat the Heat in Games!

| 0 Comments

It's always nice to read a story that paints both police and video games in a positive light: Police fight crime with games. Evidently cops in Edinburgh have figured out a way to keep crime off the streets by holding game competitions in the local library.

"It took them 15 attempts to beat me at Gran Turismo but they thrashed me at the football," Police Constable Robinson said.

While I'm glad that there's a positive impact in the neighborhood, I can't imagine how loud and noisy the local library has gotten as a result of this.
