I don't think madduckuk realises that we can't see his pic... because the site it is hosted on doesn't allow linking, and he is seeing it from his cache

I don't live in Croydon, but I work there, and it's Kiddy Gang Stabby Central (according to the local paper, at least ). From what I can gather from the news reports someone who was queing for the game got stabbed by a rival gang member who happened to see him there- and then rather than go to hospital and get sorted out, he went home to fetch his own knife and came back for revenge. Luckily the police and ambulance were waiting for him when he got back....

Anyway, I don't think it had much to do with the content of the game. Until PS3s or XBOX 360s cost under £100 secondhand I won't know for sure- sod paying that much for a console. I paid £150 for my Dreamcast, but that was when I was minted- and as far as I can see, no console since has had anything like the same number of extraordinary games.
