Too Soon For A Columbine Videogame?
neutralino writes "Rocky Mountain News has a story about a computer game based on the Columbine massacre. From the article: 'Called Super Columbine Massacre RPG, the game mixes cartoonish scenes with photographs of Harris and Klebold, pictures taken from newspapers and television stations and excerpts from their writings... [The game's creator] said he wanted to create something profoundly unique and confrontational that would promote a real dialogue on the subject of school shootings.'"
Is it too soon for a holocaust movie (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0108052/), or cartoon book (http://www3.iath.virginia.edu/holocaust/spiegelma n.html)?
Just because video games as an entertainment/art form are in their infancy doesn't mean they can't grow up and portray the same subjects that the more established arts do.
