Well the government has finally done it. The governor of California has passed a law that says it is illegal video games marked as violent in California. And the ironic thing is I just found out about this today. Check it out for yourself. Freaking ridiculous if you ask me.

Video Game Regulation

[Ferret Overlord]

This is complete and utter BULL.

That pansy attorney finally did it. I'm so sick of this. IT'S A FREAKING GAME.

They should pass a law that states that parents who are stupid enough to buy their 8-year old son the new GTA and then come back to the shop complaining should be put in jail!


I'm sending a letter to whoever made this law.


Utter BULL. BULL.

You guys make me laugh i dont see why you care so much about GTA it sucks anyway.

[Fabolous]

ironic that the governer is in rated R movies and is banning violent games.

[Aaron]

There is much evidence to the contrary of violent video games triggering youth violence, but nothing we can do about it now.

[Jake]

yeah... predator was pretty dam violent... im sending an email to that fa g

[Nate]

You guys are starting to get a little overeactive.

[Spikeout]

y is everyone so pissed? ur under 18 you cant buy it... so gay that u guys over react so much over a game. like you guys say ITS JUST A GAME. have ur parents buy it for u

[©allum]

Fair enough really.

Some video games show as much violence as some movies, which are restriced to 18+'s. People are still in this mindset that video games are for children, which they're not. My mum doesn't like me watching restricted movies and video games, but she lets me because she knows that they don't make me kill people. Another thing is that most adults think that children are stupid as hell and do whatever they see other people doing, which is untrue (most of the time...)

Video games are just a medium of entertaiment which can show violence or sex, just like books, TV, the internet and movies. I think people are starting to wake up to it now.

[Final F8]

Yep, I agree totally with Leftyy. Games aren't just for kids anymore.

You guys overreacted a little

Get a random homeless guy to buy it.... *hide*

I agree but I'm also thinking that Power Rangers, Megaman, etc etc was violent...do they get the axe too? I assume not but someone NEEDS to say more then just violent games, because to me most games are violent, and like I said that includes megaman -- You attack things, hence they are violent, however unless they mean like higher violent games (Resident Evil, etc). I assume they do but they should still still say more then 'violent videogames'

PS: OMG MUS...T....KI..L..L...*slobber*

[Elvenblader]

Man, I'm readign a lot of the replies, it seems a lot of people are ticked off by this. I am ok with some regulation just as long as the government doesnt try to regulate and control each and everything we do I'm fine.

[Dragonman]

I don't think violent video games cause people to commit violent acts, at most it probably just gives them ideas, but noone would actually do anything unless they're having some serious issues going on in their life. Playing the games a lot though could have some more serious effects, and it's up to the parents to take away the game(s) if they're playing it way too much.

They must mean "realistic violence", although there could still be some controversy over that.

[Aaron]

Ah, Leftyy makes a valid point. Yes, I think they are wanting to ban the "realistic violence" in games, not as much the Pokemon type combat.
