Police were called in Germany after a fight between game enthusiasts swarming to get their hands on a computer game.

Three people were admitted to hospital and shop windows and furniture damaged in the fighting in a shop in Cologne.

The fans were desperate to take advantage of a special offer to buy the World of Warcraft game.

The store said supply exceeded demand and fighting broke out after they realised there were not enough copies of the game to go around. - Ananova.com
