'"Children are playing a game that encourages them to have sex with prostitutes and then murder them," the US senator and former first lady said.'
Here, she neglects to mention that these children were unsupervised by their parents, that GTA is clearly rated for people older than 17, and that there is no encouragement to kill a hooker or even have sex with one.
I think, as gamers, we have a responsibility to inform the general public about what's left unsaid by watchdog groups and politicians. Let's all hang up flyers in our local supermarkets correcting the mistruths of violent video games >D.
"Researchers from the University of Oklahoma recently found that two-thirds of school fights were instigated by regular video game players, but in the study of 607 students only four fights were started by children who had never played such games."
Heh, finding a children that hasn't played a game in this day and age is rare, of course the results would be biased.
