I only have one thing to say to the people who insist on complaining about violence/sexual themes in video games year in year out: shut up, man up, stop crying.
Seriously, the notion that anyone would take seriously the over the top violence of a game like Bulletstorm just insults my intelligence.
"The increase in rapes can be attributed in large part to the playing out of [sexual] scenes in video games," she said.FOXNews
rofl xD First of all, isn't the game M rated? So if anything is bad for the children, it's parents that don't care and buy them whatever they want. I highly doubt it causes more damage than other games like Manhunt2 :S Oh and lol @ Fox News, don't know how it is in the US, but in Germany as an example games get hate from the media, there was a guy that killed another with a gun and they said he did so because he identified himself with Squall from FF8 oO Or some guys killed a husband and wife because they played Final Fantasy 7 was once in the Bild. Sorry, but that's just stupid, a game alone doesn't affect anyone :/
God, I sometimes wonder why we allow people like this on the air. Spreading misinformation should be a crime.foxhound_fox
She's technically right, though. The increase in rapes CAN be attributed to sexual scenes in video games, just like the increase in murders CAN be attributed the diminishing popularity of Lacrosse. Neither makes sense, though. :P
But yeah, I love how all these pseudo-scientists use these scientifically useless terms to propagate their own ignorance.
the game does suck but what i just read made my mind explode from pure god awful facts. thanks fox news for dropping my iq
A 9 year old can't go to the shop and buy a violent game. they have to get their parents to buy it for them. Blame the parents, not the industry
EA you are missing a gold mine of advertisements here! Forget the "Your mom hates Dead Space" advertisements, "Fox News hates Bulletstorm" advertisements will make this game fly off the selves. :lol:
"And with kids as young as 9 playing such games..."

So is it the game that's at fault, or the parents?
Bulletstorm! IT'S RATED M FOR A REASON!
Oh and How Many People are buying Bulletstorm for Bulletstorm or Just to play the Gears of War 3 Beta?
I laughed at the idea of it increasing the amount of rape. No field of psychology suggests this would trigger something that would create a possible rapists. Rape is almost always tied in with the need to show dominance or irritation with denial. Good to know they believe it's a "monkey see monkey do" situation. Looks like CSI should be immediately cancelled if that's the case.
And that's why it's sale is restricted. I wonder if Fox have the same outcry when a yearly Saw film is released?Ravensmash
lol tell me about it. Movies are just as bad if not worse and both are kept away from children under age (most the time, depending on the employee working). So other than that it is either the parents fault, or the kid is at a friends house or something and playing it there, in which case they could be watching porn and saw instead, so to target a video game is kinda strange.
I'm not, I'm not really a fan of the Gears titles. On the otherhand I'm interested in the title it's self. I like arcade style FPS games (even though I'm not too keen on the FPS genre)Bulletstorm! IT'S RATED M FOR A REASON!

And the rating for that game will be R18. Dont let kids play the games if you think it will damage them. Its parents responsibilities to ensure that their kids dont play the game, not the publishers, developers, or ESRB.IantheoneThank you
Yeah video games do that. No other form of media does that.
I mean come on, everyone knows Mario promotes rape and degrading of females while rap music holds women in the highest of regards.
