I can't see the attraction of the JFK game myself, I mean, is that it? Shoot the president the same way as Oswald? In terms of the subject matter, I do think it's a bit sick and lacking in imagination.
There will always be disturbed individuals who will blame violent films, games...erm heavy metal records played backwards...for their own actions - most adults are equipped to deal with the difference between fact and fiction.
Children should not be allowed to buy or play 18 certificate games - simple as that. Same as how they should not be able to see 18 cert films. These minimum age requirements are used to protect children from violent imagery, they are there for a reason - How long before we start hearing of compensation claims for post dramatic stress disorder from people who played these adult games as kids???
Having said that, kids can think up allsorts of violent/dangerous activities to amuse themselves, it used to be cowboys and indians/soldiers - I think it's WWF nowadays.
BTW - anyone know if Gran Tourismo 4 is ever going to be released???  |
