How many times have you heard stuff like “Games are evil” or “Games kill” or “GTA is the devil's handiwork”, and the list goes on, but if Ohio police are to be believed, the PlayStation 2 managed to avert what could have been a major bloodbath.On the 28th of March, Ohio police discovered Jemell D.

Nash, as he prefers being called, woke up to the wonders of gaming rather late but don't bring that up around him. It's a touchy subject. A self confessed Battlefield veteran, Nash spent a good part of 2010 on the Steam Battlefield - with Bad Company (see what we did there?). He has a zero tolerance policy towards RTS games but is currently showing an interest by picking up and moving people - who he refers to as units - in the office.
