This week on the show, we took our lead from the predictable news hysteria surrounding violent video games. We asked if games have gone too far, and if not, how far is too far? We also looked over the week's biggest news stories, including Microsoft banning pirates from Xbox Live, Rupert Murdoch getting in a strop with Google and Ofcom warning the BBC about using DRM for HD on Freeview.

Feature
Like the rest of the world, this week we've been mostly thinking about Modern Warfare 2. Unlike most of the rest of the world though, we've been largely satisfied that it isn't obscene. The debate about how far is too far in gaming will rage for years to come, but we welcome your thoughts either in our forums, or via Twitter. There's also still time to have your voice heard in our weekly poll, and see how other people voted.
WTF
This week's WTF was brought to us by a man who used Facebook to prove he couldn't have committed the crime of which he was accused. We're very impressed by this high-tech alibi, but we can't help but think it's open to abuse in future cases.
