I voted 'overdramatized' in the way that it should be controlled by the market. This is a parent issue. Parents should know what their children play, read and see. Their is a very simple way to do so: READ THE BACKTEXT! Simply by doing so, you get a rating, and a short summary on the content. No need to 24:7 monitor your kid. Just this.
When it comes to me, I say that nothing in a game could influence my behavior, even something as violent as Manhunt2. But I gave you this story on parents because it might influence children who just hit puberty or even younger. If I had chidren, my statement would be: 'They are not even allowed to know about the existance of anything like Manhunt 2.'
That's the only part I can sympatize with people who say games are dangerous. But actual outlawing a game is a bit over the top. Parent are responsible on this matter, not companies or governments.
