Rockstar's Family-Friendly Shocker

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the someone-finally-thought-of-the-children dept.

kleptonin writes "IGN is running an article about a new game being developed by Rockstar San Diego. Unlike their previous releases, the game will feature no guns, no violence, and no swearing. The game, Rockstar Games Presents Table Tennis, will be exclusive to the Xbox 360, and will cost $39.99." Chris Morris, over at the CNN Game Over column, has some commentary on Grand Theft Ping Pong.

    What's a little money on a ping-pong game if it gives you the ability to say "My company doesn't make SOLELY violent games, Senator..."

    Not only is this "news" a week or more behind everyone else (you're getting faster, Zonk) - but the comments here are really ridiculously closed-minded.

    "How can it be fun?" "I don't see this being fun!" etc. etc.

    WHAT? You haven't played it, seen it moving, or done anything other than go "Hmm, ping pong...crap"

    I didn't see how Virtua Tennis could be fun, but its easily one of the greatest multiplayer games of all time, and does a stand-up job of providing a solid single player experience, too.

    Open your minds and close your damn mouths.
