End Violent Videogames?!?

I guess if terrorists were THAT retarded that they needed CoD to point them to targets of opportunity we'd have no terrorism problem to begin with.

It didn't seem to me that they were saying the Terrorists played this and thought to do it, only the one reference did, hey, there was a comic about a plane crashing into the World trade centers before it happened, its just full of coincidences.

[Seeme]

I remember that.... My father had some of those, pretty weird.

lol, this reminds me funny situation in my country. Some TV talk-show was about violence in videogames. So they went to school with micro and asked few teenagers what was the most brutal game they've ever played. The most common answer was TETRIS ( lol ). Morover, nobody checked what TETRIS was, and they went on vision.... we had a lot of fun next day at school...

For those of you who are still interested...
I did some digging and found that, at the moment, its expected that the Supreme Court will rule on this case sometime in June. Its too soon for it to be confirmed however. I will keep posting as information is given.

Also, I came across a story posted by some advocate for the ban. Apparently some kid jumped off a 19 story building when he got grounded. His logic is were all going to either kill ourselves or go on a killing spree.

Update: Mortal Kombat has been banned, whilst We Dare (essentially a porn game) has been rated PG.
