Here is an extract of the story if you don't want to read the whole thing.

"The video game industry knows it trains civilians to murder, as it provides the United States military slightly modified versions of its shooter games to break down soliders’ inhibitions to kill."

What do you think?

Well it's 4 years old, and certainly nothing new from the likes of Jack Thompson.

If a kid with a game console decided to jump up and down on another guys head some day, Jack Thompson would be there within minutes claiming Nintendo to be liable as the kid trained by playing the ultraviolent beat'em'up game Super Mario, which breaks down your inhibitions to jump on things.

Video games do not induce violence. Anger, Stupidity, and...stupidity do.

There have always been murderers. Even before there were computer games. Those insults on video games are just a lame excuse.

You can tell their being stupid by declaring that Halo has a "sniper mode".  And, whilst I've never fired a gun, I highly doubt a PC game would be useful training.

agree, unless the person is an uber awp whore in CS.  but games never cause ppl to kill. EVER. except monopoly, some friends wanted to play the car and one of them got pissed, took a crossbow and killed his friend. i blame their childish actions.

Makers of Game "Halo" Should Be Sued by Victims
Now thats total BS, as soon as something bad happens people need to find something to blaim it on.

I didnt know that when i go out buying an game it falls under the Dev's responsibility.

Just some fucked up Person with a fucked up brain thats all.

Sure, blame the makers of games, because some fucktard went on a killing spree cause his mommy and daddy didn't pay him enough attention when we was a child...

That's possible in real life, too.  Of course, I imagine hanging yourself is typically less painful than being shot, but I've never tried either, soooooo...........
