Well besides the intial " NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO" when I first saw it, I realized that it would be practically impossible for them to destroy an entire industry because one family believes the game "Manhunt" could be at hand for the thoughts that someone would be murdered because of it. PHL reported:

BBC News Report
the part that I found to be quiet hilarous was at the end of the PHL report:
So, to show how much I respect that "manhunt" was behind a HUMAN beings decision to kill a man, and that it wasn't a person decided for some reason to kill another person... the price listings for manhunt:
Manhunt- Prices
Yes I do respect the fact that this game is a highly violent,probably due to the fact that its rockstar... and it is a sensless killing game, out of all the violent games I've played, some demented(Twisted Metal: Black), I know I have never had the urge to kill someone due to the game, if someone had that feeling, it was, in my opinion, that the other person did something to piss the other person off to the extent of murder. So maybe they should try and find out what he did to the kid, instead of tossing blame at videogames because you were pissed off that your child played them. I also believe, that if your child is 14 years old, and he's playing a M game, you shouldn't toss the blame around for the fact that, you had to buy it for him, and maybe you should have payed attention to that label. Especially do to the fact that your a phsycopathic murderer in the game.
If you disagree with me, please post, after all, this is a debate:D
Quote:Ban called for on Violent Games

There's an article over at the BBC News website, telling of the recent murder of Stefan Pakeerah, 14, who was stabbed in Leicester (UK) recently. His parents are calling for a ban on violent video games, and specifically "Manhunt". Manhunt is the game being blamed here, which the parents of Stefan blame.
This has brought up the whole "Ban Violent Games" thing again, as we saw come about a few times in the past with Counter Strike. I'm sorry for their loss, but it's not video games that kill people, people kill people.
