This thread is a continuation of these earlier ones: Ask a Theologian I Ask a Theologian II Ask a Theologian III Ask a Theologian IV If you have a question it might be a good idea to look through those threads or this one to see if it's already been addressed. In the next couple of...

My wife's just broken her leg and faces weeks of enforced inactivity on the sofa. She needs some games, but I'm out of ideas of what would be best. She loves exploration and climbing games of the Tomb Raider mould, especially with lots of atmospheric graphics, and she doesn't like games with...

We've had another retirement from Staff: Camikaze has stepped down, owing to pressures of work. We're very sad to lose him from the team, although I hope it will be a temporary leave of absence rather than a permanent one. Either way, I'd like to thank Camikaze for his help and tremendous...

A continuation of the original and the two sequels.

You may have noticed that we've replaced Off-Topic with two new forums. Details are here. One of the things we're thinking of doing is perhaps merging some of the other Colosseum forums into one or both of the two new forums. That is the reason for this thread, to see if users of A&E would...
