Terribly not surprised, a mother arguing against it. GET A CLUE AND DON'T BUY THE GAME.Jane Roberts, president of the Australian Council on Children and the Media, called on the Classification Board to review its rating decision.
There you go parents, when you see the scene, hit X.Activision said in a statement that the footage was "not representative of the overall gameplay experience". It said players could choose not to play the scene if they found it too confronting
Fucking owned.Atkinson said although the latest gaming platforms could all be programmed to allow parental locks, today's children were far more technologically savvy than their parents and could easily get around them.
Curry turned this claim on its head, saying since kids were more tech savvy than their parents, they were able to obtain games that were banned in Australia anyway.
Both deserve cookies.Oh, I get it. If the game is like most of this type of "realistic", first-person-shooter, it's acceptable to massacre as many folk as you like as long as your character is NOT a "terrorist". Well, that clears that up nicely.

Awesome! I'll be buying this even if worst case I have to import it from overseas.
Michael Atkinson is an idiot. "Expecting game designers to be responsible by not glorifying terrorism will always lead to disappointment." Well Mick, expecting politicians to be intelligent by supporting an R18 classification will always lead to disappointment. Use your brain mate.

Lol'dBut he did not believe a video game could breed terrorism. He said previous games such as Counter-Strike have allowed players to assume the role of terrorists.
Oh shit they gotta be dead or infected first like zombies in Left 4 Dead and you can shoot them whether they are minding their own business or not.allows players to assume the role of a terrorist and shoot innocent civilians in an airport.
Don't worry. The kids can get the game somehow.Terribly not surprised, a mother arguing against it. GET A CLUE AND DON'T BUY THE GAME.
HAHAHAHHA.Atkinson said although the latest gaming platforms could all be programmed to allow parental locks, today's children were far more technologically savvy than their parents and could easily get around them.

There is a difference between video game entertainment and real life.Oh, I get it. If the game is like most of this type of "realistic", first-person-shooter, it's acceptable to massacre as many folk as you like as long as your character is NOT a "terrorist". Well, that clears that up nicely.
agreed. if violent games aren't banned, our entire generation is going to turn into a murdering, raping, looting and polluting group of cannibals.Doesn't surprise me. It's well known Engineers make up the majority of murders and rapists.
I pressume this 'Metal Gear Solid' is some reference to a concentration camp contraption, revolting thoughts you have.
You'd like that wouldn't you?
People that play these games don't have the will power to stop themselves following out what they do in these games (like you, these people spend most of their hours glued to their gaming contraption murdering their virtual pals). Government and moral superiors have a responsibility to step in and say NO to online rape and murder, because we have responsibility over them. Most people that play these games learn right and wrong from what they play on the screen, and wish to act out these acts in order to 'level up'. We must stop children engaging in these online torture porn games before they become violent criminals and that is fact.

Juxtaposing this foul outbust with that picture of you in a military uniform 'saluting' your fellow jar-heads, and one begins to wonder just how far you'll take this perverse 'call to duty'......I would fucking kill the shit out of Atkinson with an AK-47 and then spend my $300 on hookers that I muredered afterwards with a baseball bat

uhh but you already failed at life, you sit on your pasty ass in some sweaty dark basement studying computer science....Juxtaposing your shitty post with your shitty sense of wit and one begins to wonder how you'll make it in the real world

Computer Science can make some people lots of money, idiot.uhh but you already failed at life, you sit on your pasty ass in some sweaty dark basement studying computer science....
Mass Effect maybe, but these idiots might make it out as xenophilia or some tripe.Is there even sexual references in shooters?
Bill Gates (worth 5 billion)Computer Science can make some people lots of money, idiot.
Are you referring to Snowfox's post about computer science?Selling crack to kids can also make alot of money. Murdering babies and selling their bodies parts can make a quick buck. Just because something makes a lot of money doesn't make it moral.
HAve you even seen the video I am refering to?
YouTube - modern warfare 2 airport
not sue how anyone who claims to be a human being can defend this grotesque exercise in bloodshed as something they want our young people addicted to.
err he got rich by being a shrewd buisiness man, has nothing to do with computer scienceBill Gates (worth 5 billion)
