I just watched a fox news clip on Mass Effect. The reporter and the woman for the "con" had not played the game. The keep playing up the so called graphic "Sex Scene" and saying that you fully control the actions of the characters. There saying the sexuality of the game scars young boys. WTF there's more sexuality in a PG-13 movie. Every person I see in the media bashing games has absolutely no concept of reality. It' infuriating to see such horrible lies touted is fact. I have a sinking suspicion that the media companies are pissed that video games are stealing their profits and are spreading propaganda to hurt then industry, but that's just my paranoia speaking I'm sure.

They don't realize that the more they demonize it, the cooler it becomes. Just like the parents in the movie Footloose.

I've quit with the news all together. Look at it this way, if they can't even get their facts straight about something as simple as a video game, which any idiot could pick up at Best Buy... the official electronics source for idiots... and see for themselves, imagine what else they can't get straight when they do not have direct access to the information and instead have to piece together what trickles down.

Um, you were watching FOX? And they were critical of something in mass culture that reeked of liberal sex?
I'm shocked. And this ran before or after the Hooters commercial?

I still think parents should not get their kids any games that are not appropriate for their age and/or maturity level. I'd like to slap those parents who let their kids play things like GTA. If you do, at least discuss some of the "issues" in the game before/during/after...whenever. I'm not necessarily saying that the media affects what people do...but there is some sort of relationship there you have to consider in order to be truly responsible.

By the way, I agree with ornj too. News people don't know what they're talking about sometimes...

Yeah the new consoles can block games by their rating I do believe. I haven't tested it obviously as I'm with out child. If that curse should ever befall me then I wouldn't let them play most of the harsh games until the were 16. After that they can play what ever they want. I grew up playing games since I was 5 or 6. I think i've turned out just fine.
- I'm sure, but there are some weirdos out there. Plus, I know that GTA can make you want to do bad, bad things...Jaline
