But you still can't apply the American tag when talking about the religious question. Statistically, alot of the country does base their life around religion, because it's centralised in an area where the bible is everything. 'American' defines a large section of completely secular states and cities, towns, suburbs etc as well as the Gawd Fearin' ones.

And as for the gay debate in New York, think about Britain. If we hadn't had Harry Wilson as a Prime Minister homosexuality could have been decriminalised far later than the 1960s. Gays have been a tricky issue for most western countries.

As for being on parr with the Middle East...that's a little harsh to say the least.

I think there's a reason Americans (on average, that is; I've seen quite a few in the UK) don't tend to travel beyond their own borders and it has nothing to do with ignorance. Take me, for example. I live in England. My choice of holidays is very restricted if I stay domestic, because I don't go much in for country walks or angling. Our two most popular resorts are probably Southend and Blackpool, both of which are...well, let's not mince words, awful. We're not going to experience a massive cultural experience even north of the border, as the UK isn't big enough to be distinct. If we want culture we have to go to Prague or Berlin. If we want a good sun holiday (you know, where there's actual sun) we have to go to Benidorm, Ibiza, Tenerife etc. We have to go abroad.

Whereas Americans, they have everything a tourist could possibly need in their own back yard. If they want a cultural city break, they can go to Seattle or Chicago. If they want a sun holiday they can go to Palm Springs or Florida. Each of the 50 states has something unique to offer the tourist. I don't know if I'd bother crossing the Atlantic (and spending loads of money) when you can get a cheap internal flight to somewhere you've never experienced.

The plot sounds intruiging, and the artwork looks great. Can't wait!

Lost in the nightmare: One of the scariest games you'll play
Frank the farmhand: The second one might disappoint considering the first one is so awesome, but they're great games to play.

The games of Yahtzee, Grundislav have already been mentioned but they're awesome, and also the McCarthy Chronicles. But those have been said.

It's hard to do any sort of study on Americans believing in evolution because the likelihood of completely equal numbers from each state and region taking part isn't very high, and attitudes are so different. Yes, if you go to the bible belt or parts of the Midwest, you're going to find people refusing to accept any theories over than creationism. But the rest of America, forget it. The northeast, northwest and mostly everywhere in between have a majority with science as their main factor.

And as for the original point about accents...I love American accents, even those from Texas. But even if I didn't, I'd still prefer it ten times out of ten to the English scouse.

"28 days later, best zombie music ever"

That's where it was from! I was tearing my hair out trying to remember. 

But yeah, this is one of the best games I've played in a long time.
