Train gesture for DJ John Peel

The widow of former Radio 1 DJ John Peel said he would have been "very emotional" and "honoured" that a train had been named after him in Liverpool.

Sheila Ravenscroft made the comments at the city's South Parkway interchange to take a trip on the engine.

She said: "To have an engine named after you in Liverpool, his favourite city, is just an honour beyond his dreams. It is really, really exciting."

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. I also don't like it when the character in a scene is different to the in-game one, eg "Hey, I haven't got that gun!" half_empty80 (PSN ID)
