Fox news actually did it....

[RupeeClock]

Whilst I agree the controversial gameplay of pretend terrorist is just a bit much and was in poor taste, why is it Fox did not even discuss that actual subject, and just went on about violent games omg age ratings blah blah blah.

I STILL think that so long as people respect the age ratings we won't have any problems.
Unfortunately lots of people don't, but even then I don't believe this game would do much more than upset some fragile people.
If anyone were to become a violent killer after playing a videogame, it's because they had some sort of disposition that allowed them to become a violent killer to begin with, some dormant problem or serious psychiatric issues.

Of course, any gamer still realises this and Fox is just seeking attention.

What organisation called "Common sense media" has to rely on RESEARCH anyway?

Despite how much Fox sucks, they are actually right about Video Games causing violence. Though I can never convince anyone here of that.

Maybe you'd have better luck if you actually backed up your claims. Who knows.

Haha, this will probably boost the game's sales! Well done, Fox.

It didn't look like they gave the guy on the right much of a chance to speak, actually. I'm pretty sure that he's on there ONLY so they don't look like they're biased, but that's not working the way they want it to. The Fox guy already has his mind made up, and is telling people what to believe. Prior to watching this, I thought Fox was fair and not slanted, but I might have to change my opinion.

Fox News also said that people can use a DS to spy on what kids are doing in pictochat.

Guys, I got a genius plan. I'm going to walk every 5 steps and stop to see if there's any active pictochat on my DS. I'm gonna go pedo them.

Doesn't look like any ammount of controvery is gonna have any negative influence on the game's sales figures. I read on Gametrailers earlier that Modern Warfare 2 had just achieved the accolade of 'most sucessful launch in entertainment history', making about 4.7 million sales in the first 24 hours. To put that into some sort of perspective, that's made the developers about 310 million dollars in just over 24 hours.

I wonder what percentage of that 4.7 million was parents buying this game for their underage kids to shut them up? After all, the kid has to have the latest 'in' thing or he'll be picked on at school, right? Plus if you get them the latest games, you can rely on the Xbox to raise your child while you go take a nice hot bubble bath or watch the football, right?

LOL when the blogger said it was pixelated, fake violence, the reporter interupted him and said "It's violence" in a tone of voice that said the blogger was an idiot...

fair and balanced my @$$, he's %100 anti-gamer!!
