I remember the first news articles, and tv broadcasts about this missing child from Dewsbury, West Yorkshire. My heart went out to the mother, Karen Matthew (32) as she came on TV crying about her little girl who went missing. Needless to say after a few weeks of incidents, the whole thing started to feel a little off colour.
Well, the botom line is that this was all a scam…for money and maybe even for some attention. How many people were in on it is yet to be revealed, but I would guess quite a few. Please bear in mind that what is in this article is yet to be proven, and will take an age to go through the justice system before we get all the horrifying details.

Check out http://www.gametap.com. I was pretty dubious about this at first, because as with free offers, there is usually a catch. however this doesn’t seem to have one (aside from a few adverts). There is also a pay option which gives you “Gold” status (extending the catalogue of games)
Gametap is an emulator of sorts. It allows you to play a big back catalogue of games from all different platforms (including PC, ATARI, Arcade, Saturn, Commodore, DOS etc.). The selection of free games is pretty impressive. Some of the tiles for free are : Cannon Fodder, Sam & Max episodes, Tomb Raider Legends, Colin McRae 2005, Commandoes 3, Hitman, Hitman 2, Metal Slug…and a load of others.
If you pay to go Gold (not sure how much this is) it unlocks an even bigger catalogue of games.
Go to http://www.gametap.com and download the installer (about 30mb). I am off to play Tomb Raider : Legends…
