Running, gunning, and driving my way through city blocks filled with 1-15 other players is everything I hoped it would be. Non-stop action: explosions, flipping cars, shattering glass, bullets whizzing, and that heart-stopping hiss a rocket makes as it barrels towards you. This is pure fun in a way I haven't experienced in a long time.I enjoy playing the game multi-player even when there aren't any objectives. Just running from the co...

Rowling has from her Harry Potter series. In fact, Forbes called her the first billionaire writer. Now, she has filed suit against another author for making a Harry Potter Lexicon; claiming it has stolen "17 years of hard work". The Lexicon is actually just a reference guide for the Harry Potter series and is a fairly standard practice, people have written similar resources for Middle Earth (of LOTR fame) and many other p...
