So... apparently... Wal Mart will begin putting M-rated games in a black sleeve that covers 3/4 of the case. This might not be actually true but here's the link:

EDIT: It doesn't look like this is true, after reading some other stuff on the site (like their review of Devil May Cry 4) I think that was a joke article.

Don't they already not sell CDs with explicit lyrics? Either way, I will continue not shopping there.

I doubt thats true. But if it is, why would they do that?cryptosopoidium

They need to protect children from seeing horrible cover art.

Its not going to matter if they cover the cases...its not going to take the fun out of the games. But yes it is pointless...

Sounds like it will encourage kids to pay more attention to M-Rated games. Really, why can't they preach parent responsibility instead?

The old people at the front door that greet me when i go in are more offensive than anything inside that they sell.

Get rid of old people IMO.

Ever seen an adult magazine and wanted very badly to lift up the covering just out of pure curiosity? Yeah, this will bring MORE attention to games. Wal-mart, you get a nice big "FAIL".

It's not like games have "piravte parts" on them anyway. Especially Bully and Manhunt. If they wanna cover up Bloodrayne and Leisure Suit Larry cuz there are boobs on them then ok, whatever, but they should also do it to movies that have sexual stuff on them too. There are also some really freaky movie covers man, wal-mart should cover those too if they really care that much.

Anyway, I doubt this is true, it is nothing but stupid, and a waste of time and money and effort, for something very irrelevant.

I don't shop at Wal-mart anyway, I hate wal-mart.

I don't buy games at Wal-Mart. They are way too expensive there. Of course, I mean, I go to EB and pay $4 for a game that came out three years ago...

It doesn't sound like a good idea, first they should start with movies, if they want to protect children from being tramatized, some of the covers are really greousume.

I don't shop there anyway, but even if I did it would be too much of a hassle finding the game that you wanted.

What exactly is damageing about a cover of an M-rated game? Pretty funny. Are they going to start making it so you can't buy games with swear words in them ,like their cd's?

I hope you all know that this is just a parody site. It's just satire.
