The whole vid game industry caters to peoples darker fantasies, it make the step to reality a little easier for those inclined that way.

Like "Ghostrider"? Should that also be banned?

Ban the internet as well, I've seen some dodgey stuff on that. I might go out and try to replicate it, and of course it's not fault...

Bring back personal responsibility.

Whats worse seeing some made up stuff on the computer?

Or watching the family violoence etc that occurs in many of the homes around new zealand, babies Kahu?

Im comparing them to games I do like: BF2 & SF, Colin Mcrae 05, HL2, Doom3 etc etc. Have a look for yourself, the amount of development going into the cheesy games is minimal...

That little phucker that threw the concrete onto the motorway is a prime example. I don't care if he did not think about the carnage he was about to release. The concept of "know me before you judge me" can be shved right where the sun dont shine. About time that the powers that be realise that the PC world is shyte and start putting responsibiity ahead of rights...

Just heard an interview on the news that they will prosecute anyone that they find with this game to the full extent of the law.
Damn it must have upset the reviewing dude something fierce.

Sounds like just another way that Aunty Helen can collect more tax...

That's a little leap from scoring points according to how many cops you kill.

The question, though, was not the value judgement of the content, but rather whether watching antisocial behaviour of any sort in a video, will reflect in actually carrying out that antisocial behaviour in real life? The paradigm should be valid whether the behaviour is the extreme of kiddyporn or RD, or the lesser anti-socialism of GR.

i had Postal2 a while ago, and i currently have the ISOs of ManHunt.. Resevoir Dogs should be good (if someone downloads it and gives it to me)

It's nice to see some people thinking on the same lines as myself. Like it's been said, why should we loose out on the choice to play a game because they think some retard might copy it.

all they're really doing is encouraging piracy.. if a person wants a game, they'll get it no matter what..

Who remembers the game 'Road Rash'? You got points for riding your motorbike through city streets knocking other riders off using crowbars, numchuks, and swift boots to the body. I know I'll never forget the hordes of motorcyclist rampaging through the city re-enacting what they had seen in the game.

**MattRSK** · 8th July 2006, 18:29

Hey I think you have all bought up some valid points and arguments. Really at the end of the day, the game will be easily attainable because its on a computer. Really you have personal responsibility as to whether you play the game or not. Ixion, Skyryder and a few others sound pretty wise. Shot.

Still got that here somewhere if you'd like to borrow it, just as a matter of interest how do you get on swinging a chain?
