Article on video game violence on the front page of the Washington Post today
Here's a link to the online version.
Nothing new, and it's a fairly balanced article for once. It's just curious that it was on the front page as I haven't heard much out of congress or anywhere else lately on video game violence.

Good article.. not judgemental at all. Personally I hope this trend of violent/nudey games ends just because it's boring to me. There's no shock value, it's just unnecesarry in a game that might be fun if it wasn't full of immature crap.

In today's virtual mean streets, Pac-Man wouldn't last a day. The yellow sphere with the slanted pie-hole that gobbled up pellets back in the '80s probably would get carjacked and beaten to a yellow wad of pulp.

"It's awesome," said James Parker, 27, a Washington computer network administrator. "You can carjack any car, go to the seedy part of town, beep the horn and pick up a prostitute. Then you take her to a dark street and the car starts shaking. When the prostitute jumps out, your money is down but your energy is full."
How sad is it that a 27 year old man said that?
