Game is on the slippery slope

BELGIUM'S answer to Grand Theft Auto IV is set to be launched this week. A Place to Pee, which allows players to slalom down ski slopes or kill aliens while relieving themselves at urinals, is the brainchild of a pair of Belgian beer-lovers.

Werner Dupont, a software developer, and Bart Geraets, an electrical engineer, got the idea for the game while drinking Belgian beers, they said.

"This had to be invented by Belgian people and that's what we are," they explained.
