The week's fear-monger comes in the shape of US Prosecutor Kym Worthy, who has just published her list of ten games for parents to boycott over Christmas. Providing some wonderfully succinct summaries of the accused games' content, the list highlights the titles most likely to turn younger gamers to a life of crime.

Speaking to the Detroit News about the extreme content of some of today's biggest selling games and franchises, Worthy said, "There is no way that anyone can convince me that the horribleness and gruesomeness of the crimes that we've been seeing is not somehow a result, at least in part, of the violent video game culture."

Choice #1 in the list isn't surprising..The list is as follows:

1. Grand Theft Auto
"Allows to players to act out crimes and rewards players for doing so."

2. Manhunt
"Revolves around the making of a snuff film."

3. Scarface
"Involves buying and selling drugs and killing hundreds of people."

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."

5. 300: The Video Game
"Invites game room gladiators to slice their way through the Persian army."

6. The Godfather
"Opens with a 'child's version' of the player witnessing the murder of his father."

7. Killer-7
"Experienced adult gamers call this the most violent and twisted game ever played."

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."

9. God of War
"A sea of unrelenting violence"

10. Hitman: Blood Money
"Self-proclaimed 'most violent' game of a series. This game glamorizes killing."

VIDIO GAMES DONT KILL PEOPLE, PEOPLE KILL PEOPLE. and what do prosecuters know about gaming???!
 
Re: US Prosecutor Unveils List of Games to Avoid This Christmas.

B-b-but Resident evil 4 is so good. :'(
 
Re: US Prosecutor Unveils List of Games to Avoid This Christmas.

Re: US Prosecutor Unveils List of Games to Avoid This Christmas.

:lol: people are so stupid. They do not understand that these games only affect people who already have an unstable mindset. The reason all of us aren't going out and running over a prostitue with a Viper, or shooting a man-beast in the face with a Needler is because we have are smart enough to know not to do it. Yes, kids under 14 should not play these games, cause they are more impressionable. But kids over said age know what they are doing, and what they want to do. As Psychopat said... Games Don't Kill People, People with Psychological issues kill people.

God I hate people like this, that means your Hiliary Clinton. People always look for excuses for there screwed up children....IE ADD. Don't blame video games, blame bad parents.
 
Re: US Prosecutor Unveils List of Games to Avoid This Christmas.

Re: US Prosecutor Unveils List of Games to Avoid This Christmas.

You know most serial killers were poor and couldn't afford violent games, they were just social outcasts.

Quote of the Week. Their putting out violence constently, but at the same time they got to block out violence from entertainment. Double Standard Much?
 
Re: US Prosecutor Unveils List of Games to Avoid This Christmas.

there was violence and killers before violent games.
 
Re: US Prosecutor Unveils List of Games to Avoid This Christmas.

Yeah, I'm surprised they never blamed Cannibalism on Pac-Man. :lol:

Well, technically you ain't eating other Pac-men. :lol:
 
Re: US Prosecutor Unveils List of Games to Avoid This Christmas.

^ Well, yeah, but whatever.
 
Re: US Prosecutor Unveils List of Games to Avoid This Christmas.

Technically most those games have been out for an age and people wont be interested in them for xmas anyway. :lol:
 
Re: US Prosecutor Unveils List of Games to Avoid This Christmas.

Oh, my head... Why do I have to live in the mentally handicapped country? Why?! If half the people who propose contradiction to these video games actually played them, they'd be having fun in a minute or two. Seriously, no one person can come out with something these days without someone else complaining and whining about it...
