The Hot Coffee scandal must have burnt Take-Two harder than we imagined. Not only did they lose a lot of money as this mod changed San Andreas’s rating from M to AO, reducing sales like crazy but they received a lot of flak from parents, politicians and nearly everyone on the planet. As a result of this they’re planning on revamping their image, hence their debut Xbox 360 title didn’t involve guns, “hoes”, prostitutes or any anti-social elements that are so synonymous with their games; instead it involved paddles and balls with players playing Table Tennis against each other in high-def. Now we get word that they’ve cancelled their Cel-shaded drug fuelled strategy game, Snow and if rumors are to be believed, they may even end up shelving Bully as well, a game that puts you in the shoes of a “troublesome schoolboy”. I hope you’re happy Mr. Thompson!

Nash, as he prefers being called, woke up to the wonders of gaming rather late but don't bring that up around him. It's a touchy subject. A self confessed Battlefield veteran, Nash spent a good part of 2010 on the Steam Battlefield - with Bad Company (see what we did there?). He has a zero tolerance policy towards RTS games but is currently showing an interest by picking up and moving people - who he refers to as units - in the office. Thank God he's not that enthusiastic about Angry Birds or we'd be seeing women flying all over the place. Bali... Bali, put the receptionist down now.
