Video games break human rights

Dungeons & Dragons would turn us into psychotic axe-wielding killers.

We have LARP for that, dear boy.

Oh dear, oh dear, oh dear, oh dear, oh dear.

Winky linky.

And they called us sad!

When I was a teenager and playing roleplaying games like Chivalry & Sorcery, the warning was that Dungeons & Dragons would turn us into psychotic axe-wielding killers.

I suspect these stories are as old as the hills.

yes true but they did do True Crime Streets of LA which was a mediocre clone.

This whole thing is just Daily Wail pontificating b0110cks

Have you played UN Mandate on the XBox. It's a corker. Hours spent checking text to ensure the symantics are correct to get the document through the security council. Then and only then should you cosider the next game. Rules Of Engagement where your heavily armed squaddies can't help people being shot right in front of them.

The study was carried out by two Swiss human rights organisations - Trial and Pro Juventute. Staff played the games in the presence of lawyers skilled in the interpretation of humanitarian laws.

No but I have played 'Battlefield: Bad Company' where the objective is to steal your opponents gold by means of battle, admittedly the Swiss didn't do the fighting but were quite happy to store the loot.

I hate it when articles open "x has come under fire..." and then you find out they only meant it metaphorically. Same with "blasted".

Next week, Mario critisized for encouraging kids to jump on each others heads

“Video games dont influence kids, if pac man had affected us as kids, we'd all be running around in darkened rooms, munching magic pills and listening to repetitive electronic music”.

Can't find a source of the quote. Sorry.

A lot of them didn't have fingers and thumbs. Just paws.

Ah, I see.

That will certainly hinder performance.

Muppets. I bet they were cr@p players.

Human rights groups played various games to see if any broke humanitarian laws that govern what is a war crime.

Muppets. I bet they were cr@p players.
