Speaking of violent video games corrupting our youth,
look what the mum of a murderer is saying.
Two points irritate me. Firstly, the mother is plainly just a bad parent. I'm sorry, but "I didn't know" is not an excuse to illegally buy an 18-rated ***le, sanctioned by the BBFC the same way cinema films and DVD's are, for your kid. Your job as a parent is to understand exactly these kind of things and engage with your children.
Secondly, this was so badly researched and reported, I could have mistaken it for a Daily Mail article. You tell me a game that allows you to meticulously plan how to stab someone 72 times, and i'll show you... err, a banana. The rant budget is not what it used to be.
"I know these games are played by kids across the world, but some are truly horrific. And if they can cause a trigger to be pulled in someone's head they should be banned." - my dear, if we start banning games left, right and center, we should start banning TV, films and even books. Everything is a stimulus to everyone, and someone who researched serial killers and talked to paedophiles was clearly not right in the head to begin with.
It's because of mouth-breathers like these that Manhunt 2 is in the situation it is...
