Holy shit, bunch of blowhard reporters trying to take a topic and make it into a contraversy. Video games are no different then a book and movie ombined with interaction.
They wouldn't make a big deal if Mass Effect was a book or even a movie.

There is actually a game out there where you indeed earn points (they're actually called points) for murdering people gruesomely. Yes somehow, Madworld hasn't gotten a lot of press in that field.

Speaking of the media what about ESRB they are corrupt and way to influential for their own good according to a reliable source of mine the ESRB doesn't even play the games they just watch trailers and base the ratings on them, also because of the most ludicrously wonderful ESRB(sarcasm) I cannot play nearly any of today's best games simply because they have an M label on them sometimes for no good reason!

Great article. I find it horribly annoying when older generations try to explain or understand technology. They may not realize it, but their views are increadably ignorant and somewhat insulting. I wud have been so pissed had I been in the same situation as Geoff Knightly.

Islam is the light. Hmm. Maybe if the Damn doll said Jesus is the light, then the dumbass mom would've started worshiping it.

Is it just me, or do all those video game hating pundits happen to be Republican/Conservative or lean close to that?

Next up, how video games promote homosexuality, gay marriage and the gay agenda and are destroying the moral AMERICAN values and are threatening the liberty and the democracy of this GOD BLESSED COUNTRY.

The baby pals thing pissed me off quote from video: "but the packging clearly states the product was licenced by nintendo" but the console's logo that doesn't mean nintendo licenced it
