  The Judge Dredd Roleplaying Game
The Judges are on patrol of these mean streets 24 hours a day, only sleeping for 20 mins in every 24 hours thanks to the sleep machines of the Tech Judges (although they must get a normal nights sleep once every 7 days) and they are always on the lookout for evil doers.
Street Judges are perhaps the norm among players and are the everyday Judges who patrol the many deadly streets of Mega City One, they are trained in multiple forms of combat and are excellent at shooting, driving and hand to hand combat, skills that they must rely upon daily.
I played the Judge Dredd RPG on a nightly basis for over 3 years and didn't get tired of it once, it is a joy to play and is perhaps one of the easiest games to get into and can be adapted with little effort to any genre.

 Judge Dredd review at theOneliner.com
Judge Dredd is the closest thing to an icon left in the British comic book industry since Dan Dare bit the dust, so a film version was inevitable.
Dredd is really all the reinforcements that are required to quell this riot, and after they fail to thrown down their weapons after his initial warning this gives him carte blanch to get to the kicking of the ass.
Dredd's goose is cooked when DNA evidence of the bullets found in the body provides seemingly irrefutable proof of his guilt.

 comparative psychology - Article and Reference from OnPedia.com
Strictly speaking, comparative psychology ought to involve the use of a comparative method, in which similar studies are carried out on animals of different species, and the results interpreted in terms of their different phylogenetic or ecological backgrounds.
Throughout the long history of comparative psychology, repeated attempts have been made to enforce this more disciplined approach, especially since the rise of ethology in the mid twentieth century, and behavioral ecology in the 1970s gave a more solid base of knowledge against which a true comparative psychology could develop.
For example rats that are exposed to loud music for a long period will ultimately develop unwanted behaviours that have been compared with human psychosis, like biting their owners.

Dredd is as much the master of his 'courtroom' as any previous cinema judge, the change is the arena not the authority, his judicial robes are signposted as clearly as those historically trimmed with ermine.

Dredd is the "old pro", "the experienced one", "he who is legend", and up close in real combat is bigger than the legend could ever be.
And although Dredd knows this, he is, after all, a loyal and devoted public servant, himself unable to break even the smallest rule, including letting others into his emotional life.
In the end Dredd is convicted of trumped up charges (a real disaster for the squeaky clean Dredd), and his mentor is sentenced to the "long walk" a forced retirement outside the city and into oblivion.

Judge Dredd vs. Judge Death features a unique new storyline, but one that fits in perfectly with the continuity of the comic with a full cast of characters from the Judge Dredd stories, including Judge Anderson and the Dark Judges, and many of the famous Mega-City One locations.
Judge Dredd: Dredd vs. Death is the latest title to attempt to bring justice to the Judge Dredd name, but where it differs from its predecessors is that the game is not only better than its so-so brethren but is actually fun.
Dredd vs. Death is a fairly linear FPS like most, but where it lacks in freedom in that regard it makes up in the freedom found in the gameplay at any given time.

 Judge Dredd
Judge Dredd was a clone of Chief Judge Fargo, the first leader of the Judges.
Dredd has become a symbol of the law, and deliberately maintains this image of being a faceless representative of the system, virtually never being seen without his uniform helmet on.
There are a number of variations in the character (Dredd removes his helmet, he questions the Law in favour of Justice by the end of the movie, he lets Hershey kiss him without arresting her, and he doesn't know he and Rico are clones), the differences aren't sufficient to warrant giving him a separate entry.

Dredd went so far as to tell him that he could have jumped from the 40 story window, admitting that it was suicide, but still preferable because it was legal.
Dredd's challenge here should be to uncover the conspiracy, catch the bad guys, restore faith in the system (or improve upon it) and generally save the day.

 Judge Dredd review (1995) Sylvester Stallone - Qwipster's Movie Reviews
Judge Dredd is based on the popular British comic book character of the same name, which enjoyed some modest popularity among comic book fans of the 1980s (in the long-running anthology series, "2000 AD") and early 1990s (in Dredd's solo title) in the United States.
However, Dredd gets taken out of the criminal justice picture when he is framed for murder and sent to a life of imprisonment in a prison colony, where he becomes a lightning rod for revenge for all of the criminals that he had put away.
Meanwhile, the mastermind behind the frame-job is Rico (Assante, Hoffa), a former Judge with aspirations of changing the nature of things forever, with a legion of clones that do his bidding, putting himself on the top of the proverbial food chain.

Judge Dredd works best during its action sequences, when the title character is too busy to speak, because sooner or later he utters the films wretched punch line, I knew youd say that, and you have to roll your eyes and wait for the next action sequence to distract you.

They then use 'Dredd' to bring across Judge Death and chums, Fear, Mortis and Fire, who then proceed to control Mega City's Judges and begin to exterminate life (which the Dark Judges consider to be the root of all crime and hence a sin).
Meanwhile Dredd (note not 'Dredd') is on the long walk in the Cursed Earth when he senses something is wrong back at Mega City 1 and so sets off home...
The reason Dredd resigned to take the long walk was because he had become disillusioned due to the 'big lie': that the Judges knew what was best for the people.
