Not exactly a new release...nor did it really get that much attention truthfully because as a kid I would have probably wanted to try it out but I didnt hear about it until early this year.

It's graphics are lame and its quite unrealistic...You mind as well go back to how the Doom game had no affect at all over the Columbine attack. Video games have had violence for at least over a decade now and theres just no proof these games have any influence on crime and homicide rates. You don't get an accurate account by hearing about the game either until you play for yourself (although I haven't played this game and this game inparticular seems over the top crazy because the 1st one was). Its a video game. What's next...books? movies? There's been violence in books and movies for at least a century now. C'mon now...


Games dont kill people. People with enough hate for the world and guns kill people.

people should have the sense ton know that its, well, A GAME!!!

If people cant figure that out for themselves, we are all doomed !!!

Do you feel any of the eat magic mushrooms and stomp on turtles "programming"?

I couldn't resist but, "If Pac-Man had affected us as kids, we'd all be running around in dark rooms, munching pills, and listening to repetitive music!".

That being said it apperas that the majority of dialogue on this topic is universally opined. There is in the realm of proven studies countless records that substantiate that the personality is malable and can be altered. The military has understood this for decades and utilized real-time interactive game-play successfully to this end. They have found its merits two-fold: to train optical motor-brain skills to respond while programming the mind to become desensitized to the graphic nature of the reality of war.

Anyone with a cursory understanding of basic psychology can grasp why these types of interactions are causitive and detrimental.

I challenge anyone to point to one school slaughter on the level of what we see consistantly in todays news before violent media-television-music and video play?

Now list how many we have had in the last 20 years and increasingly as the Westerm world has come almost to the point of being unable to distinguish reality from fantasy.

As for those who cite the violence of stomping cartoon turtles and hammering cute animals into gold pieces: how do you compare that with blowing a human forms brains out or beating a character of another person into mush with an axe?

The games we grew up with really were harmless and were of a different nature and I am convinced were created as entertainment.
They were not suspect of some lasting negativity any more Popeye the 3 Stooges or Looney Toons. However science has long proven the more realistic the visual stimulus and audio stimulus is the more of an effect it does have on the brain itself.

This is the way the mind operates period.

I am guilty of blowing away thousands of enemies, blowing up thousands of tanks, shooting down thousands of planes at the local arcade just like most of the readers here: Yes it was part of outr culture and it was fun!
I never had the chance to stroll through my victims guts, desecrate their corpses or watch a slow motion replay of their brains splattering.



We heard this same debate on smoking for years and for decades the tobacco companies were above serious investigation. They pumped hundreds of millions into lobbying and controlled the AMA without challenge. It was not uncommon to find even MDs who promoted having a smooth smoke as a way to relax and enjoy life.

In the same way the hundreds of independent studies on the topic are quickly swept away by the power of the gaming industry who have the means to both push their wares and promote their own studies.

Its the fox watching the henhouse.

Time always brings the truth to light: and the same thing will happen with the Video game industry. As long as parents are ignorant or don't give a damn kids will play this #. As long as the industry can pad the pockets of those in legistlation they will continue to push this poison on society. As long as the 1st ammendment protects everything without scrutiny the Western society will reap the fruit of these worthless seeds.

Just like with music-and all media video gaming is literally slowly but surely shaping our society in thought and ultimately our actions.
