Law school cut into my videogaming time somewhat this year, so I restricted myself to truly rad games. Here are the 3 I finished during school, I recommend them.

Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas. Drive around a California-style region on various vehicles, committing various crimes. Legal angle: Very realistic police response. If you do a lot of property damage and destroy civilian cars, they won't come after you. But if you smack a cop with a nightstick and take his motorbike, they will.

Psi-Ops: The Mindgate Conspiracy. In addition to the usual guns & ammo, use mind powers to throw objects, look through walls, control other humans, etc. Legal angle: If you enter someone's evil fortress with your mind, is it trespassing?

Resident Evil 4. Kill zombies and other unsavory characters with an assortment of weapons, preferably a shotgun. Legal angle: You can't be convicted of murder if the person is already dead.

Next: God of War.
