He later told police: "Killing seemed easy in the game."

That little joke could ban the game from Thailand.

I'm tired of the medis saying that murders are the cause of violent videogames. If the person can't tell the difference between what you can and can't do in real life and videogames, then there is something wrong with them already.

Dont blame the game but the homicidal tendency that lies within every man I must remember that western movies were violent too but as far that my knowledge goes there are no homicides related whit watching one of this movies .So the blame is in society not in any particular form of art ( Videogames or others )

whenever something horrible happens, it's a common reaction to look for the reasons behind it. however, so often, there is no reason for those actions, so people make something up to deal with it. "it's video games" or "it's movies" or "it's music". it's just something people blame to feel better about the situation.

i just wish the government would stop using this as a reason for censorship.

Okay, A) You seem a bit misinformed.

And B) There's been about 4 threads. Check them out, it might help with problem A.

What I do is take taxis everywhere because driving around gets boring after a while. You should not kill the taxi driver though, cuz then it's a pain in the ass to find another one.

Of all the video game-things to imitate in real life, killing someone doesn't stick out as my first choice.

I play F.E.A.R several times (you can blow off people's legs, arms, and head) and I don't have a killing urge. I'm already tired of the media making it look like video games force people to kill others. But then again, since when is the media reporting the story the way it is?

If you are 17 and dim-witted enough to be influenced by a video game then you deserve to be in jail. Otherwise, the game should have never been sold to him, it seems someone else is at fault here *ahem* PARENTS *ahem*... Jesus take some responsibility.
