Violent Video Game Pulled From Shelves

[Maddalena]

Mmm.... that was rude. I'm sorry. x_x;; Manhunt was retarded game, though. I love video games. I tend to like the survival horror genre (oddly enough, I usually like bouncy, happy thing), which contains a lot of violence. The ones I like are from Japan, and they rarely contain any harsh language, and the violence is always targetted towards something not human. o.o;; That probably doesn't make it anymore justifiable to play them but it's not like I can afford to dash out a buy the latest video games anyway. My brother pays for them not me!!

I can't believe anyone would even want to play these games.

Y'all need to stop bashing video games. Leave 'em alone.

Except Japanese dating sims. Those are [i]stupid[/i] and sinful.

That game sounds sick. I am a huge fan of video games, but that type of game is too extreme. However, I don't believe video games nor movies cause people to do things like that. Those people already have something seriously wrong with them long before they play the game. It's possible the game could give them an idea, but they could get the same idea from anywhere in the media.

I love to play the "Age of" series. I love real-time strategy games because they make me think. Of course there is war and fighting in those games, but it is far less realistic and totally different than a game like "Manhunt". Why would you want to play a game in which you kill innocent people in gruesome ways for no reason?

I am not going to defend the game here but I think it is sad that we can't teach our children that there is a difference between life and games. I see it all the time in the "gameboy" generation. It worries me.

Most of the reason I don't play games much anymore. I never had a problem seperating it but I am a role model to my brother.

Praying.

Most of the game I played where like SWAT seris or Rainbow where the goal was to save inncoennet life. I have played games like Battlefeild or GTA where the goal is just to shoot anything that moves but more often than not I ended up just roaming around "exploring" the "neato" enviroments.
