The responding officers arrive at the mining ship but, due to a malfunction, crash their vessel into the Ishimura's docking bay. Isaac has additional skin in the game as his wife, Doctor Nicole Brennan, is stationed aboard the ship, working on a mysterious project.

It's with this grim situation in mind that I present a quick quiz aimed at calculating your gaming gullibility.However, this seemingly routine planet-cracking mission appears to have met a hitch, and that's where we come in. Why? Was it incompetence on their part? Perhaps, but I for one like to imagine that someone at the beeb really really wanted to believe that the United Nations fields a fleet of high tech space cruisers.Ĭonfusing real life with video games is nothing new, but as many sensational news reports will no doubt try to convince you, not knowing where gaming ends and real life begins can result in some rather dire consequences. The BBC once used a piece of Halo artwork in place of an official UN logo. Take Blighty's most gaffe-prone broadcaster for example. The thing is that it really is very easy to be taken in by an authentic looking title. Players swore it to be true twenty years ago and yep, they're still spewing that same old guff today.
