Better out than in, as they say.
I doubt that I could persuade my other half to take an interest in this.
Bad Science author Ben Goldacre has a passion for abandoned nuclear bunkers and decrepit, disused railway stations. He tells Tanya Combrinck about his new site, nerdydaytrips.com, which plots them all on a map with other nerdy points of interest

Whilst Being Henry is a kind of on-rails, choose-your-own-adventure, there is still something compelling about performances from real actors - something which Rockstar have worked very hard to capture in LA Noire but despite the quality of the digital actors, it is still recognisably a computer game rather than a movie.
