CNN claims GTA IV is training kids to kill :: PlayStation Universe (PSU)

I don't even know what to say about this

*facepalm* covers it nicely.

This is the returning chapter in the neverending story. Every time a "big game" comes out, some random nobody wants to get some minutes in the limelight by attaching themselves to criticizing this game.

It will blow over, as it always does. We will see these people again soon, maybe when MGS4 comes out?

The first few statements were damage control for what was to follow, even he knew it was true.

This is ridiculous! Kids were shooting their classmates in the US for years before there were any GTA!

How about the parents? No one blames the parents!
Sometimes I feel this country is so full of <S--->!

Someone in Britain already tried to start something with MGS4 because of the content rating by the BBFC.

I've been playing a lot of NHL 2K7 over the last year, so everyone watch for me in the NHL in the upcoming season. I've also heard rumours of PirateThom parlaying his time spent with GT5 Prologue into a professional career.

I am currently competing in low level local races to earn enough cre... I mean, CASH, to buy a Nissan GT-R.

I also bought a steering wheel so I can practice at home.

Exactly. Don't buy it for your kids. Actually, if I had kids under 18, I probably wouldn't buy it for them. Some M rated games I probably would--like Halo. There really is a difference in M rated games. I'm all for stores not selling to kids that games are not rated for, but the rest is up to parents. If you have a solid family life, then video games aren't going to affect much of anything.
