The 64% Violent Pacman

DreamWinkle writes "During the recent Senate hearings on video game violence, one expert claimed that the ESRB underrated violent games. They went on to say that Pacman was 64% violent. To some, this means you shouldn't play Pacman; to others, it highlights what's wrong with Senate hearings. Whether a game is violent or not depends on how you classify violence, and the ESRB has the job of doing just that. They're not regulated by the government, they let the game makers recommend their own ratings, and don't play every game they rate. Is the ESRB to be trusted?"

And mod you down for spoiling it too, the name meant nothing to me untill you linked it with the dark tower which I have yet to read. Had you not mentioned it, I would never have paid any attention to it and would have probably read the Dark Tower without remembering it. But now if I do read it, I will clearly remember the spoiler.
