Commit murder with your console...

[Harrison]

Unless he was counting the main course as the killing spree!

I totally agree that video games being a trigger for violence is completely unfounded. It was first sighted as a cause in the US and we all know how grounded and logical they all think don't we! How many of them are currently denouncing evolution and turning to religion? A lost brain washed nation.

Sony making the PS3 region free was a good decision and enforcing a ban on violent games would just force smaller UK games retailers out of business as more and more people started to order games from abroad.

And I think the whole violent video games and films argument definitely sits with the parents and is their responsibility, not the makers of the product. If they are under age for a specific game or film and are discovered playing or watching it then it is bad parenting and the parent/s should be brought to account.

I often see in gaming stores parents buying any game their child wants. They often don't even look at the title of the game, let alone the contents or age ratings written on it. As long as it is within the price range they are willing to pay, their kid gets the game. And I think the misconception that video games are just for kids still sticks with many parents who have never been gamers themselves. Therefore some way of educating them so that they realise that games with mature content aimed at adults exist is the best course of action, not banning specific genres of game or adding stricter censorship laws.

This could easily begin by passing a law similar to Alcohol and cigarettes where the shop selling the product holds some age related responsibility and can be brought to account if they are found to be selling a product to an under-age customer. Most children wouldn't get to play the games if the stores introduced a policy or politely informing the purchaser of a violent game's content and age rating as they purchase it. I bet that would shock most parents into suddenly looking at the games and realising their content.

Yeh, what harrison said, .

My step brother works for Rockstar, and i cant believe the crap they go through. Best 1 was the grandmother who sued over the hidded sex scene in the game. Everyone failed to realise that she bought it for her under age grandson. Its like "HELLO, YOU FEELING ALRIGHT LOVE".

Hes a graphics designer there. Worked on all the GTA 3 games and spin offs. Even worked on manhunt 1 and 2.

If your after info, trust me, i cant supply any. He keeps very tight lipped about any games in developement.

That clearly makes him a very good employee for them to have.

I honestly don't know how tight-lipped I could be if I was in that position. Although, I would hope to be a very trustworthy employee, but I am easily excitable!!!

What about concept art and designs not used in final production? Does he have any access to such things? I love seeing stuff like that.
