Bulletproof as a learning tool? Great idea 50 cent

This is ******. Games do not screw people up or make them homicidal. And what about Sexually suggestive games? my dad wouldn't let me get srs cos there was a bikibi girl on the cover. WTF

I think it's another case where the government shifts the blame to another industry, which is the gaming industry. There is no proven theory that video games make people become psychos, lunatics, and derranged people. I think the number one cause of crime, violence, and issues in this world is money. Now, if you dont agree with me on this, then you're absolutely nuts. Just think about it. What do people complain about most? Why do families fall apart? Why do wars occur? Why are there homeless people? World hunger? Epidemic wars and battles going on all over the world. And we dont even know it. All over what? Money.

This is soooooo idiotic, do they think that violent games cause people to become psychos? I'm fourteen, and I've played RE4 and GTA: San Andreas, and I have yet to kill anyone (in real life, that is. The games were absolute kill-fests ) In the news today, there is yet another video-game crackdown on violence, because of claims that they are overly violent. Was SAW banned? it may have been a movie, not a game, but that shouldn't make a difference. This government is justtrying to turn us communist

I'm not going to say how stupid this is since everyone else pretty much feels the same way I do about this. I'm just going to say one thing: they really should've replaced 50 Cent with Manhunt.

They should just shut up already because nothing is going to change, it's just annoying.

The "fight" against violence (no pun intended) in videogames is a battle that will never be won by the group who started it. In other words, there's something called freedom. Video game companies can release whatever they want, whenever they want. The ESRB was designed to rate the games, not to criticize them. When family networks overlook these ratings, and target these games, they hold no ground. The reason why the game has a rating of "M" for "Mature", or 17+ is because they are obviously not meant to be played by 6 year olds. The more violent games are obviously geared towards older players. Video games aren't supposed to be real. They're fantasy. Sure, they may be reality based, but that doesn't mean the games are teaching anyone violence. Everyone knows what a gun is or a knife. All the 8 year old boys watch the Spiderman movies (that have guns. knives. murders. ) with their mommies and daddies. What makes a person truely violent is their mental state, not the game. The world is a dirty place. **** happens, and everyone has at least one problem or flaw. It's natural, and no one's perfect.

This is something stupid cause the thing is that the list wont prevent the games from selling it will be the contrary the people are going to read it and say '' it's possible to find the corpse of a woman pinned up on a wall--by a pitchfork through her face. COOL I HAVE TO GET THAT GAME !!!! so please let the games be cause you talk like if this games were meant to be played by little childrens and they are not they are M 17+ so stop messing whit someone elses buissness.

I just think that's dumb. I mean it's not like most of us are gonna get screwed up by playing videogames. I just hate those watch groups that watch videogames and say "ALL VIDEOGAMES ARE BAAADD!!!!". They are just hypocritical, if you think about it. They bash games but yet they're watching like, i don't know, maybe like SE7EN?! Besides, there are MUCH worse games out there. RE4 isn't killing humans, THEY'RE ZOMBIES that look like they're still alive because a...i aint gonna spoil it for those who havent played it yet, but still. C'mon, it's just games...not real life.

Resident Evil 4--"Player is a Special Forces agent sent to recover the President's kidnapped daughter. During the first minutes of play, it's possible to find the corpse of a woman pinned up on a wall--by a pitchfork through her face." actually its an axe thorugh the face and i am 12 and when i saw that i just though "thats sick" but not in a "sexist" way more of a "thats pretty gory and bloody" type of way. i am enjoying this game LOADS and im honest with you, i woundn't say its bloody unless villagers take a head shot or the chainsaw guy and when i saw him, i didnt want to go to go onto the street and kill people.

games dont make you want to kill. im 12 im a female and i want to play resident evil 4. its dosnet make me want to go on a kill-fest but it does hel[p me stay alert

.... so you played the first ten minutes of RE4 then.

ha.... ha.... you talk like hoes are part of the damn storyline. Is that even in san andreas? i remember that being on a GTA3 cheat sheet because it was so damn hard to even figure out ...
i could write sooooooo much more. something wrong wit everything... but i already submitted that.. and it cut me off after i was done tlakin about san andreas.... which really really really pissed me off

HAHAHAH i love Resident Evil, no matter how sexist it is

NARC? What the hell, where's Manhunt, Mortal Kombat and Hitman. And since when do you gain health by taking in prosies. Eating and health pickups too.

Where the **** is Manhunt!?

Where the hell is Manhunt... everyone knows that game was pretty much banned for how violent and sadistic it is!!!!

Wasn't Dead Rising out then?

If it was, it should've been up there . .

PasteHunter- God of War should easily be up there. It's a pretty decent list, but the two that I don't like are The Warriors and True Crime. Other than that, the list is pretty good.

I just lol'ed at the 50 Cent description-"Game is loosely based on the gangster lifestyle of rapper Curtis '50 Cent' Jackson." LOL! Loosely based? I'm osrry, but he isn't a gangster. He's a wannabe, who just milks the fact that he got shot many times, and lived. He should be grateful, not prideful....moron.

What? GTA San Andreas: Visiting Prostitutes To Gain Health. That's Not Violence Thats Sexual Content! lol. 50 Cent Is More Violent That GTA. By Far. And You Don't Have To Beat The Cra* Outa People To Gain Money. You Can Be A Taxi Driver Or Medic Or Even A Firefighter!

50 Cent Game: Committing counter-Kills With Blood Spraying...

GTA: A Few Punches, Thats It! Or Maybe A Few Bullets Or Rockets. What Makes It Worse Than James Bond?

Just Because A Game Is Popular Doesn't Make The Violence Worse. I've Seen More Violent (some Banned) Games That Didn't Make It Anywhere Near That List.

This list sucks terrible... Some of the games were good and all but the only gory games i noticed were Resident Evil 4, God of War, and maybe the Condemned!! But the other ones suck...Espicially the 50 Cent game..

only five of those games are any good, and they are fictional. These people need not worry unless thier kids are already a bit crazy

"The next-generation graphics provide a new level of detail to various injuries, especially 'finishing moves.'"

WTF does that mean? i hate these "family" thingys, always blabbing away about video game violence and the children!! stfu and let the teens decide >_>

I understand Resident Evil and God of War being a violent game...

But GTA?

It's pretty clear that people like the ones in these "parent watchdog groups" don't actually PLAY the games before making these decisions and accusations. Anyone who's played GTA3 and up knows that its POSSIBLE for the player to recover "health by visiting prostitutes then recovers funds by beating them to death and taking their money", its not even remotely close to being the ONLY way to regain health, nor the best way to do it, nor the most popular. They obviously heard about this scenario once and decided to round up all the old ladies in the neighborhood to form a damned organization.

"50 Cent himself, on the other hand, went on the record last week saying that parents could use his game as a teaching tool for their children."

Ha ha ha that is hilarious.

i mean, what exactly does it teach children? How to be a gangster and 50c idol?

yep it is just for 2005, and anyone notice half the games there have to do with gangs and stuff? just sayin...

i think this is a list just for 2005, could be wrong though. theres a couple i never heard of

First of all where the heck is Manhunt and Postal. Replace GoW with GoW II and take off True Crime thats barely over the average violence.

what about prince of persia warrior within?

Dead Rising and Gears of War were made AFTER this list was made, so thats why they aren't on it. Wouldn't be surprised if they made it on the list if a new one was made.

what is with people these days? i mean, someone was street racing and the cops found nfsu in the drivers seat and blame the game. also how the **** is true crime on the list? how is shaking down people and planting evidence on people gory and bloody? people like jack thompson should get a ****ing girlfreind and a life.

Man thats an awfull list ... GoW ... WTF ?

My top 10 includes San Andreas and Killer 7 but where is Manhunt and Doom 3?

weres manhunt?

Where is Dead Rising im suprised that my favourite game isn't on the list?

how about gears of war

From that description NARC sounds cool. According to GameSpot it was not. STOP TRYING TO TRICK ME INTO BUYING BAD GAMES, FAMILY MEDIA GUIDE!

Speaking of violence and gore, they're going to have a heart attack over Jericho when it comes out.

RE4 is my favorite game of all time. i beat it with minimal shots fired and in under 6 hours and im only 15 and no i havent killed or took out a pitchfork on anyone.O and San Andreas is really cool too.

oh srry for the double post but whats up with this?: The next-generation graphics provide a new level of detail to various injuries, especially 'finishing moves.'" sounds like my parents wrote that AHAHHAHA

well kratos in RE4 u can get cut in half ,head sawed off, blow people's heads off and blow people up....

Lol thats ghey HALF of these games arent Gory and they just contain a little blood, RE4 no gore, the only gore in GTA SA is the blood when they are dead spills on the road and the little drops of it on the screen when using saw.
And you when you visit hookers? How the hell is that gory?
