Or the "J" is lowercase. I forgot>

i feel that game censorship and restriction should end i feel that it inhibits a games greatness like with the incidents of trying to remove GTA 3 and BMXXX off the shelves was just unnecessary thanks to a parents stupidity in not paying attention to what they buy their kids it is punishing those of us who are die hard game fans.

Terrific something else is going to be censored that doesn't need to be censored. When are people going to learn that there are waaaay better things to try and shield our children from....like Wars, AIDS, and reality tv.

What's the point in censoring games? The vast majority are 'violent'. From the early days of squishing moombas in "Mario" on the NES most games have an element of violence to them and i'm willing to bet most would agree it satisfies a certain something, to squish a moomba or kick butt on Tekken that everyday life can't.

PS ummm... is there a guy's page for this or something?

Very nice blog

I did a whole debate on the effects of violence on children, and if violence in media results in real violence...the overall conclusion (and this was in a Surgeon General's report) was that media has less than 10% effect. The main causes of violence are family structure, urban blight, poverty, and factors that cannot be helped: male, minority, low seratonin levels in the brain, etc.
Yet they still make video games the scapegoat for everything. Over here in Columbus, with all the shootings on the highway, the news speculated that it was a bunch of teens acting out what they saw in video games and tv.
Even regulation of media is the same as censoring it, inhibiting the right to creative expression is unconstitutional. Ha! Take that Joe Lieberman!

Sure most games don't need to be censored, but I could have lived a long and happy life with out the crap ass BMXXX. For all the hype, the game just plain sucked, and the "XXX" portion was not XXX by my standards. Anyone who disagrees is a minor who can't find a store that will sell to him. Obviously some games just should not see the light of day, but that is just cause the games suck, not because of potentially disturbing and offensive content.

I think we all have to take into account that if such material isn't censored then there are going to be huge uproars from upset parents saying "Think of the children!" The fact of the matter is that the producers of video games should be allowed to create anything they want - it's an artform, just like films. Films are rated and therefore taken seriously. The same can happen to video games and it will stop annoying parents by saying "Then DON'T let your kids play it!" instead of the artform being destroyed.

Anyone who agrees on this - the serious acknowledgement of censorship for video games and anime, please email me if you want something done about this matter.

what and idiot. even worse than censoring truly violent videogames is censoring violent SPORTS games.

football players might not be the smartest tools in the shed, but surely they don't go and use violent play just because of a videogame.

man, people can be so stupid it's scary.

someone ban stupidity.

hmmmmmmmmmmmm... read the editorial. he thinks it's hpocritical for them to make money of the Blitz license and to fine violent players.

NEWS FLASH - BLITZ IS A VIDEOGAME. NFL ISN'T HOLDING A FUCKING HITTING CONTEST!

how much do you want to bet he also wants Slayer to be banned because he thinks they worship Satan?

if you don't know what you are talking about don't post online.

great site mate! Keep up.........

I cannot wait to see his perp walk.

Congrutulations with Christmas!!

Why should we lose out on some good games just because the parents are scared about the content. If they dont want their children to play these games than dont let them play, just leave the games alone for others who can play them.
