Crime never pays! But crime does give you a chance to Katamari with your accompanying law-breaking inmates, if you so happen to be living in the UK.

The Labour government has today revealed that 120 PlayStation 2 consoles have been installed in prisons for young offenders, an installation process that has cost the country £15,000. Those who commit crimes in our ‘glorious’ nation can now look forward to getting in a few free rounds of Devil May Cry instead of actually being, you know, punished for their crimes.

The implications of this are so vast; it’s almost downright intergalactic and depressing at the same time. Whereas its not uncommon to recall a good number of fuming politicians and parents and how they see it fit to ban violent games forever, these very same people are now having their money taken (no doubt unknowingly) in order to fund these kind of activities. Huh, so why was Manhunt 2 banned again?

I mean hey, if you’re going to at least discipline those wrongdoing frogurts – have them play nothing but Vampire Rain. They won’t last a week, tops.
