| Tried it, I haven't even heard of it! What is it? And yeah, all that bad press does wonders for sales. Vice City pretty much rode into the millions on its moniker of sex, violence and crude humor. People bought it BECAUSE it was like that. It's a kind of crazed irony, you know? People are willing to buy something with bad stuff in it just because there's bad stuff in it that they wouldn't be able to do in real life. | |||

| Postal 2 pretty much sucks ass as far as FPS' go. The only reason I bought it was for a quick chuckle. Trust me, it sounds better on paper and is not worth your money. Not for single player anyway. I didn't even bother with multiplayer. I would rather play something else. I bought Manhunt for PS2 when it came out. I'm surprised it didn't do better. It's actually a really good game and a great concept. A dark one too. I'm not sure how good it did in sales, but I don't ever remember it having much hype. Maybe after this though... Anyway, the premise of the game is that basically, you're a guy who's trying to escape from...some guy and he's playing this game where you're the star of his movies (he video tapes what you go through) and you have to go through the game killing people you come across. The people you kill are gang members who are trying to hunt you down. That's as best as I can explain it. Has anyone ever seen Surviving the Game with Ice-T? Or am I the only one in the world?  If you have, it's sort of like that. Except in the city, and on video tape.If you play it in the dark, it's even better. There's a certain degree of stealth as well. You sneak up on gang members, hold a button, and depending on how long you held it you get a more gorier kill. For instance, if you use a paper bag, and tap the button while behind an enemy, you'll put the bag over his head and strangle him. But if you hold the button longer then release it, you'll put the paper bag over his head and bash him in the skull over and over again with a baseball bat. It's a really cool game that's worth at LEAST a rental. Anyway, I'd like to say that if this game DID in fact inspire this murder, then that's irrelevant. Anyone who would kill someone after playing this game isn't right in the head and was bound to kill someone sooner or later even without knowledge of this game. |

| I got my copy months ago. Not a bad game at all, I must say. This story is nothing new. Just a classic scapegoat scheme exploited by those who have no idea of what they blabber on about. It will get passed over once everyone sees what a bunch of crap it is. I would go on a deeper, more detailed rant, but I'm tired now... |

Originally posted by Vote LegionOnly if it was possible to rent games here.

But blood in unreal big quantites is just silly. It's not realstic at all. ...I wonder what's the next thing they are gonna blame on. Message boards? |

| In my opinion, watching CNN exposes you to more violence than video games. Let's ban CNN. | |||

See, what parents don't understand, that nowadays, it's real life and movies that influence video games. So if you see it in video games, chances are, it appeared else where before hand. Before point fingers, they need to learn where the source is first  |

| One thing if funny, I never get disgusted by games. But I do get disgusted and terrefied by news. And that's becuse I can diffrer betweem reality and whatnot. CNN is a funny channel, I swear it's mostly about the war whenever I turn it on. And therefore I seldom watch CNN. It's mostly just US news anyway which dosen't intrest me. |

| Hmmm, some interesting new developments on this. That, and it sheds a little light on how the authorities view this. They didn't think the game was a factor. Yet the media ignored them. Figures.  Here's the story. |
