		<description>That thing is fucking eerie.

Cal me part of society&#039;s increasingly fucked-up attitude to kids but there&#039;s something vaguely unsettling about buying a virtual young boy in order to play with. Just how... interactive... is Milo?

I wonder if the game would allow you to physically, sexually and psychologically abuse Milo until he grows up into some kind of demented serial killer?


 * Press A to extinguish a cigarette on Milo&#039;s arm.

 * Press B to tell Milo that his penis makes him evil and if he ever touches it you&#039;ll cut it off with a pair of rusty garden shears.

 * Press X to force Milo to go to school in girl&#039;s clothes.

 * Press Y to tell Milo that his mother is dead and it&#039;s all his fault because he cried so much.</description>

		<description>Uh. Rainbow&#039;s End. Halting State. Frigging Snow Crash. Gibson. Rakunas. Hundreds or thousands of works have imagined this, and a whole lot more.

But just highlights how important it is to get our message out to entertainment. After all, the majority of the top 10 movies and games are based on SF or fantasy.</description>
