This week we discuss violence in videogames, and specifically the scene from the forthcoming Modern Warfare 2 which pits you as a terrorist "forced" to kill innocents. The game has passed the censors, but experience has shown that a game can still go onsale and later be pulled.

We also look at Top Gear going to Nine, the new PVR for PlayStation, the Amazon Kindle, take photos at the Super GP, and feel the breeze of the Dyson Fan.

Your companions this week are Ty Pendlebury, Joe Hanlon and Derek Fung and Alexandra Savvides.

Full links to what we talked about are below — don't forget to leave us your comments below or in the forums.
