    with more and more cases like this I think they will start to become more politically correct in order to maximise sales by not distancing a minority.

    I don't think games sales have or will be affected by any of these cases. The majority of people who make these complaints probably never played a game before or intend to.

    I have no idea. The difference in game type may have something to do with it tho considering with Generals you have little dudes seen from above in an rts but in hitman it's pretty up close n personal cuz you've a big arab muddafukka chasin you round with a fcukin machine gun so I THINK there's a slight difference :rolleyes:. But who know's I'm not the censor! Also theres some truth to whats in generals tho I'm just trying to think of a reason. I'm sure there is one. The hitman thing is just a bit on the speculative side suggesting all turban wearers are trained assassins with Mp5-sd's hidden under their hats.

    WHy do people always have to blame other things for kids doing crazy things. Maybe the kid's just crazy!! You can't just say "Oh its his parents fault" or "videogames" or "music" or "society". Some people are just crazy!

    ROFL

    Classic. :D

    Wow I was so inspired by manhunt. Decapitating someone with a piece of wire has never been so easy! That knee in the back trick really floats my boat!!

    My view on this sort of rubbish was cemented when Mechwarrior2 was fingered for lawsuits a few years back.
    You control 100m tall amoured battle suit.
    You aim with the mouse while managing a plethora of systems to keep yourself funtional in a battle.

    How the flying wombat chicken head melon of christ does that teach kids to pick up daddy's 12-guage and plug Sue-Ellen full of buckshot because she drank your chocolate milk?

    I say cut the problem off at the source.
    Ban FOX News.

    Thats probably the most intelligent thigng i've read on the matter of stupid lawsiuts and games, very well said.

    I think you should go a step further and ban all propaganda tools apart from those that spread the news great new quake's, mario's and such. Only in a perfect world.........
