Slumdog star made examiner cry

The teenage star of Slumdog Millionaire moved an examiner to tears during his GCSE drama performance.

Dev Patel, from Harrow, west London, has been tipped for an Oscar for his performance as an orphan from the Mumbai slums who wins India's version of Who Wants To Be A Millionaire?

Crime against gaming
I think the high value, cinematic cut scenes in Uncharted had the right look and length. I wouldn't want them any longer than that. Unskippable ones are a crime.
