No, Tetris is already responsible for making some guy make a tetris block costume and causing problems in a shopping area.

Anyone got a link to that video?

keep an eye out for me on the friday news (uk) i'll be playing america's ten most wanted and maybe answering some BS question on manhunt...that will be a giggle they asked me as i was playing and i stuttered like hell =D but all good fun

There was some news report on some site, I'm too lazy to dig up my irc logs but it mentioned parents "dropping off" (more like ditching) their children at "overnight gaming centers" (they can't even call em by the correct name), where the kids as young as 12 play violent video games. Of course they brought up the murder this topic is about.

This proves it. It's completely bad parenting, or the person who wrote the article is a complete dumbass. You can't say parents are the ones responsible for their kids playing the games, then say the game's responsible for what the kids do.

Games don't kill people, bad parenting does.

agreed

but it does'nt stop the press =( more crap in the papers today about this guy trying to ban doom3 and all violent games

the shops should not take the games of the shelfs its really stupid

i know this will all end in a week or 2 but gah it drives me nuts there making it worse by bringing it up in the first place

The story of the “Manhunt” murder case took another twist with the revelation that the game was present in the victim’s home, not the killer’s.

wow the press put there foot in it this time LWEL!

The discussions in the media about violent games in relation to murder cases become more and more ridiculous, they just need something to write and people believe it.

Taking the games off store shelves would only hurt the developers publishers whoever (the people your $50 go to). If you really really want a game, but can't find it, are you just going to give up? No, you're going to download it. You still have the game that'll make you kill people at your school, and the people who would be getting your $50 don't get a single cent, (that is until they find out that the person didnt legally own the software, so they search the computer for more pirated games and then sue the parents of the suicidal murderer).
