Videogames are just another in the long line of topics that talking head politians use to campaign for family values. Whatever draws the most attention is where you'll find these people, if some kid kills his abusive father but has a copy of Vice City in his house then it's obviously the videogame's fault [sarcasm]. However let me get one thing strait just because videogames have no direct connection with violent behavior doesn't mean some twelve year should be playing a game like Manhunt, on the other hand it also means that videogames can't simply be a media for companies to exploit the most base of human nature. Sure game makers have the right to create whatever the hell they want, but they also have a responsibilty to others within the gaming community to try and push games to a greater stage in modern culture, so that people can finally get past stigma of thinking videogames are just kids.
