Only thing I agree with is:

4. 50 Cent: Bulletproof
"Rapper 50 cent is involved in a web of corruption, double crosses and shady deals that lead him on a bloody path through New York's drug underworld."
Nobody should have to act like they're happy to get a 50 cent game

I can understand why they wouldn't want KIDs playing...but normal people, no.

I've been playing GTA since I was 10 btw. Started with GTA 3. And please, it's NOT as bad as Manhunt.

Oh and the 50 cent game blows cock.

I played Manhunt, I frickin love that game! It's so fun slicing guys' heads off with a machete, or shooting someone in the head point-blank with a shotgun and watch as you create a gigantic bloody hole in their head and chunks of skull and blood spray up on the wall behind them.

Do I want to do that in real life? Hell no! It's wrong, evil, demented, and fucking gross. I don't want to see someone's head splattered on a wall!

I've been playing GTA since I was 10. I played Manhunt, and every other violent games. It didn't turn me into a crazy serial killer.

If the stupid bitch opened her mind she would realise that if someone was crazy enough to go shoot up a school because they killed people in a virtual world, then they were probably mentally instable in the first place. Normal people don't kill a few people in a completely unrealistic world and then decide it would be fun to do it irl.

TBH I would be more worried about my kids watching shows like CSI, showing them exact methods on how to kill people in a far more realistic manner then any game I've ever played.

Now, for debunking.

1. Grand Theft Auto
"Allows to players to act out crimes and rewards players for doing so."
Yes, and most of them are gun orientated. Little kids shouldn't be able to acquire guns. I say little kids because anyone over the age 18 who wants to reenact a scene from a game is already fucked in the head and probably would have done a shooting regardless.

2. Manhunt
"Revolves around the making of a snuff film."
And little kids would totally find themselves in a similar situation. The majority of the ways you kill people are unrealistic and hardly happen irl. When was the last time you read about a 15 year old nutcase going on a rampage with a nail gun and plastic bag? Probably never, therefore it isn't related to real world crimes. NEXT.

3. Scarface
"Involves buying and selling drugs and killing hundreds of people."
"Hundreds of people"? Are we playing the same game? Fucking women. Actually play the game before you review it.

4. 50 Cent: Bulletproof
"Rapper 50 cent is involved in a web of corruption, double crosses and shady deals that lead him on a bloody path through New York's drug underworld."
No one actually plays this game so its place is void

5. 300: The Video Game
"Invites game room gladiators to slice their way through the Persian army."
Oh, next you will want history lessons in schools canceled because you fear that a kid will get the idea to be the next hitler, because he heard his teacher talking about him. You fucking retard.

6. The Godfather
"Opens with a 'child's version' of the player witnessing the murder of his father."
Protip: It's an R18 game, based on an R18 movie. Kids should not be fucking playing it regardless

7. Killer-7
"Experienced adult gamers call this the most violent and twisted game ever played."
Never heard of it. But the keyword is still "Adult".

8. Resident Evil 4
"Shoot outs involving massive crowds of enemies in large open areas. A typical play-through can result in the killing of up to 900 enemies."
...Against zombies... If someone can't distinguish the enemies from real people, then they probably aren't the smartest kids on the block, and again, would have done something stupid regardless of what they played.

9. God of War
"A sea of unrelenting violence"
...Based upon a God. I never played the game but I THINK it's based on a mythical creature? It's called history. It was violent.

10. Hitman: Blood Money
"Self-proclaimed 'most violent' game of a series. This game glamorizes killing."
Holy shit, the name has Hitman AND Blood in the title. If the parent is stupid enough to buy it for their kid, maybe you should be changing your focus...

In summary, all there is to blame is: A shit society filled with stupids, parents buying games that blatantly shouldn't be played by kids, and people with mental disabilities.

Games are definitely the least of societies worries. Besides, killing is in our nature. It is an instinct we still have from millions of years ago before we were humans . Although this woman will probably deny that and say that God created us to love or some more bullshit like that.

And I was going to write more but I've had a mind block due to it being 7:30am and I haven't slept yet so in conclusion: Fuck you and I hope you get hit by a bus.

Exactly, we have to blame something, right? For some reason people can't be content with the fact that fucked up people are fucked up people.

I lol'd. Hitman: Blood Money....


My little bro played (It's fucked now, thanks to the same little bro) that regularly. My Dad used to armchair coach him through levels occasionally. Was funny to watch them beat a level together. My little brother is none the worse off from playing it. I guess that's because he can distinguish between reality and video games.
Whoa... Can't believe these forums are still kicking.

Well, I can name numerous other causes/fixes

Causes:
TV/Movies (Far more realistic)
The news (Wars, school shootings. Makes the kids think that it's a common place thing.)
Lack of proper education (MORAL education)
Mental disorders.
Music (How many rap songs are there, where the singer talks about shooting and gangstas...)

Fixes:
Educate parents on what their children should/shouldn't be watching.
Abortion for people who are mentally disabled. Why bother keeping a schizophrenic locked up in a room, paying for him to eat/accommodation ect... When in reality he will never be able to do anything with his life. As cruel as it is, it is the better thing to do until they come up for a surefire cure for schizophrenia and other disorders like that.

I only have one of those games, that being Hitman: Bloody Money. Since I've played this game there have been numerous unsolved murders in my hometown, thanks Hitman!

Some people really are too stupid to hold positions of power. I mean "The Godfather" is based off a film I'm sure this judge has nothing but praise for. Along with Scarface this represents two of the top 250 films in the world, (according to IMDB.com Scarface is at #190 while The Godfather is at #1.) The film 300 isn't too far off this list either judging by Scarface's 8.1/10 rathing and 300's 8.0/10 rating. As for Resident Evil, as Mek said, they're fucking Zombies. Come the Zombie Apocalypse people who see Zombies as people are going to be the first to die.

As for the apparently overly violent games of Killer-7 and Manhunt, I have to agree with Yahtzee a the popularity of these games are widely overstated. They've been given an R18 rating, but seriously most people over 18 have grown out of their "evil kid" stage and found that killing hoards of people in mindless and brutal ways isn't what they want from a game.

As one of the posters on that article wrote, having a near-porn-star name doesn't mean you're allowed to badmouth games with no knowlege of them yourself. I think she'd get a lot out oflistening to Yahtzee every now and then.
