Top 10 Most violent Games... Sorta.
Here's one of the articles talking about the list. Here's Penny Arcades humorous take on it.
Glancing through the list of groups, there's one kind of group I'm not seeing. A group against stupid and ignorant parents. You know, the ones that actually let children buy and own violent videogames.
The thing is, I'm a huge supporter of keeping violent videogames out of the hands of the children of the world. Those little fellers need not be learning the glory of a headshot until much later in life. What I'm not a supporter of, however, are asshat parents trying to pass the buck on their responsibility to their kids. Corporate America has no responsibility to raise your children for you. You can not demand that video game makers take care of your kids. That's not what they're in business for.
The part that drives me crazy is this. If all those groups would just pool all the resources they're wasting trying to attack game makers, and apply it towards educating and informing parents about making better decisions for their children, you would see a much greater effect regarding underage violent gamers. They could even come up with another cool snappy name for the movement, like the "Coalition Against Dumbfuck Ignorant Parents" or "Pay Attention to the Short Person Living in Your House You Lazy Sack of Shit Alliance". CADIP and PASPLYHYLSSA for short, of course.
I would totally be a member of PASPLYHYLSSA if given the opportunity.
