K.os Theory Posted August 13, 2004 Share Posted August 13, 2004 So Doom 3 is released today, and already Sky have jumped on the bandwagon calling for violent games to be banned. I feel for the mother who's son was murdered but for her to call for all violent games to be banned just strikes me as wanting to place the blame... I've been playing video-games since the early eighties and have never had any murderous thoughts, been arrested, killed anyone. Anyone got any opinions on this subject..

When Skies Are Grey Posted August 13, 2004 Share Posted August 13, 2004 Saw this on Sky this morning too....its just lazy journalism...and no-one has mentioned that the game looks sh*te!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monkey_magic Posted August 13, 2004 Share Posted August 13, 2004 It's not just these first person shooters that should be banned, but every other game too. This morning I was running late for work, and just couldn't help myself from forcing the other cars off the road by throwing banana skins in their path, and then chuckling as they span off. If I had some lightning with me nobody would have been safe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

the mo beats experience Posted August 14, 2004 Share Posted August 14, 2004 I've played Grand Theft Auto, Manhunt, State Of Emergency and many other violent games without losing it and hurting anyone. However, since playing Rachet and Clank, everytime i see a frog, i just can't help myself but twat it with a massive spanner, its becoming quite a problem!

Lucy Posted August 16, 2004 Share Posted August 16, 2004 I clicked on that link hoping for one of your silly piccies and all I got are some bloody links. Most crap. Mo beats, move away from the frogs! My son plays Ratchet and Clank or rather he did until he beat the game - if that's the right expression - so now he just sees how many bolts he can get.

matty Posted September 6, 2004 Share Posted September 6, 2004 Computer games never affected anyone from my generation, we grew up with Pacman. Now where would you find people munching pills, wandering about in darkened rooms, listening to repetitive bleeps???? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
batman Posted September 13, 2004 Share Posted September 13, 2004 I wish the press and other people would shut up about violent games influencing young people. You must be a complete freak if you play a game like Manhunt and come out all derranged and warped by it, its not real. I read somewhere that two children were re-enacting an execution scene from manhunt all I can say is what a complete bunch of absolute dipshits. If there minds are that fragile in the first place then it is not the games fault. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
