Games Seized Following Murder

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the dangerous-materials dept.

GamePolitics reports that M-rated games have been taken as evidence a case involving the death of a 55-year old man in Louisiana. The connection? Jack Thompson says: "Nobody shoots anybody in the face unless you're a hitman or a videogamer." GP goes on to point out the lunacy of this claim. From the site: "Funny, that. A quick Google search on 'shot in the face' turns up 921,000 entries."

    Is somebody claiming that President Bush isn't a murderer?

    Wish I could say I was joking.
