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."
"Allows to players to act out crimes and rewards players for doing so."
