A guest blogger for PC World raves about the Objection! video game testing players’ ability to identify objectionable courtroom questions.

The reviewer played the role of a lawyer defending an accused murderer. She noted that players have to raise their objection before the witness answers a prosecutor’s question, with less than a second, usually, to interject.

“Many lawyers have expressed an increased response time and success of sharpening their skills with the game,” the blogger writes for PC World’s Community Voices blog. “In fact, a Florida judge even ordered some lawyers to buy the game because they were so inadequate at questioning.”
