Speaking to Radio 5 Live in the United Kingdom, Prime Minister Gordon Brown has revealed that despite his concern over the harmful influences of violent games (research is underway), he does enjoy playing the from time to time.

"The Wii is very popular," Brown revealed. "I have played a game of tennis, but I didn't succeed... It didn't leave me out of puff, but that was probably because I was beaten pretty early on by my son and he's only four."

Brown is probably not too worried that Wii Sports is turning teens in murderous lunatics, however he has ordered a review of gaming related legislation, as well as research into the impact of violent games on minors.

More as we get it.
