And this is a great quote: Psychologist Ronald Conway said while he did not usually back censorship, some was needed in this case. “It does seem to endorse, subliminally, the life they have led. There’s a case for weeding out some of this stuff,” he said.

Oh, it “seems” to? “Subliminally”? Nice science work there, brainiac. The sun “seems” to revolve around the earth, too.

And this: “They’d be better being tutored on the pain victims go through as part of the commission of their crimes.”

Well, you’d hope that this was being done already, regardless of the games priosners play as recreation.

Then this: “Pumped up by their violent video exploits, inmates can also buy specialist bodybuilding supplements to bulk up.”

Holy CRAP! LOOK OUT! He’s PUMPED UP on VIOLENCE! WHO KNOWS what he’ll do? You know, I’ll bet the average gamer’s reaction to playing a violent video game is to open a packet of corn-chips and play another round (I know that’s what I do).

Finally, this: On GTA3 - “the player assumes the identity of a criminal to blow up buildings” Don’t recall blowing up any buildings, but then, I was PUMPED UP ON VIOLENCE!

People, please! Stop reacting, stop blurting out stuff to try and placate the angry masses. Let’s all just sit down, take a controller in hand, and spend a marathon session playing Soul Calibur. It’s the most peaceful resolution I can think of.

or else become pedophiles, to come to think of it…

btw GTA3 is a best seller and damn good in its own right. what else would you think they’d want…Herdy Gerdy?
