Violent Video Games
A group led by The Interfaith Center on Corporate Responsibility released a list of the Ten Most Violent Video Games as a warning to parents for the upcoming holiday shopping season. They are:
1. Doom 3
2. Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas
3. Gunslinger Girls 2
4. Half Life 2
5. Halo 2
6. Hitman: Blood Money
7. Manhunt
8. Mortal Combat
9. Postal 2
10. Shadow Heart
I have 3 of these games and plan on getting 2 more soon. You can read the official press release here.
As an alternative, they recommended 9 non-violent video games. They are:
1. Antigrave
2. EyeToy
3. Jak 3
4. Karaoke Revlution Vol. 3
5. Madden NFL 2005
6. Mario Power Tennis
7. Prince of Persia
8. RollerCoaster Tycoon 3
9. SimCity 4
I only have 1 of these and don’t plan on getting any others. You can read that statement here.
The press release from The Interfaith Center on Corporate Responsibility should not be taken seriously – not only did they not actually see the video games they are criticizing, one of the games isn’t even out. You can get these details about the press release and other information about Bernice Powell Jackson at http://www.ucctruths.com/.
Hmm i guess they are not talking about the new Prince of Persia… that one is very violent.
