Assuming you havent read the skinny , Theres a link up above. The Story's in the link. AndFrankly , Im apalled that UT2004 Didnt make the list.

UT2004 really isn't that violent for me. The blood sprays are unrealistic, and the gibs just aren't graphic enough.
What surprises me is that Halo 2 is on the list! WTF?! UT2004 is more violent than that!
I also like how they grouped Halo 2 and GTA: San Andreas together as "packaging excessive violence, racial profiling and brutality toward women in ways that could appeal to children". I understand that about GTA, but Halo 2?

Well in halo two i can only think of one female character in the game.. and as far as i remember shes one of the few standing at the end...
EDIT: and im not going to trust the opinion of a place called "Interfaith Christian Center" to have an unbiased and objective view on the matter either...

Generally,i dont consider what is the buzz around videogame violence,i doubt playing UT when at the age of 10 will have a impact if the kiddo is somewhat sane

Neither will I. Most of these lists for video games are made by people that don't know what they are talking about. I think it was about two years ago when there was a shooting at a school here in Germany, because some freak snapped and got his hands onto some guns. It didn't even take the media a day to blame video games for that. And the funny thing was that a few days later our chancellor raised his voice on TV for censoring and banning CounterStrike. When asked if he had ever played it or any other games, his answer was: "Of course not."jeditobe1 wrote:EDIT: and im not going to trust the opinion of a place called "Interfaith Christian Center" to have an unbiased and objective view on the matter either...
Strange - whenever I say something about ****** politics or how someone carries out his faith like a zealot, I am told to shut up because I have no f*****g idea what I am talking about.
And while I wouldn't let kids of any age play Halo2 or HL2, they don't belong onto that list. There is games much worse out there. The list looks like a top ten list of games hyped up by the media because of their gameplay...

Well, there was that one marine. I guess that makes two females.jeditobe1 wrote:Well in halo two i can only think of one female character in the game.. and as far as i remember shes one of the few standing at the end...
Really bad research there. That Hitman game doesn't come out till next year, and nobody with half a brain really plays Postal 2. You don't even need ESRB ratings to figure out that a game named "Doom 3" with its demon/zombie-covered box art could possibly be violent.
Vague and poorly promoted? The rating is on on the box, jewel case, and the CD!The article wrote:To parents and grandparents faced with confusing advertising and a vague and poorly promoted rating system for videogames, I say this: Take the time to learn about the worst games and steer clear of them ...
Here's some interesting commentary on this article.

Why isnt silent hill on there??? That is the most disturbing,mindwarping,sickening,nightmareish game about......yea doom 3 isnt a kiddies game but i really dont find it scarey or exciting....more of a LAG MY COMPUTER TO HELL FEST! They dont know what they are talking about....its the mind warping games like silent hill etc that should have a little more warning to parents......
Halo 2? huh? Man theres like no blood on that they are just ritual game haters pure and simple really. Gess they just dont like games, mabe they are **** at them and get frustrated or they dont like kids having fun, mabe they think fun is a sin and people having "fun" should be put in an instution for hard labor???

Absolutely right. Anybody who hasnt played a *violent* computer game will think all such games are gory, violent, sickening things that drives innocent childeren to the brink of insanity and corrupts their minds. OMFG!!! And yet you have *perfectly normal* things like Fear Factor, WWE, For Love or Money (Choose a number between 5 and infinity), etc. And they say computer games are bad!!!
