im on about another game that he would find creepy, but yes well done it ISNT made by rockstar, have a cookie ahahaha. yeah the SH series never disappoints. i'm curious what they're going to do with the next gen consoles. given what alan wake looks like. i'm kinda jonzing for the next silent hill.

[Danny]

actually one the silent hill forum there was one 'supposed' screen of silent hill 5 for the 360 it was a hospital room and looked almost like real life.

very cool.

"Manhunt" was never banned, any anti-games organisation that says so are idiots. As per usual, Blair said he'd consider it to appease whichever demographic he was after two years ago. P2501 - if you haven't already, head over to my website and check out "Manhunt Did It" in the video clips section. Also P, I too am a big fan of the GTA games, GREAT stress relievers. I can't tell you how many times I've been furious over something, gone on GTA and came back an hour later cool as a cucumber. Each game has indeed brought something new to the table, San Andreas was a bit improvement on level design - if only you could combine the great style and story of Vice City with the level design of San Andreas - take out the retarded flying missions/learning and remote control missions and bingo - GTA: Next Gen. I don't know why they're calling it "GTA: 4" though.

but hillary clintons trying to do to games what thatcher did with video nasties in the 80's.

[MinionZombie]

And like the video nasties debacle, Clinton's perceived moral highground will crash and burn because the money men won't allow it. Top selling video of 1983 just before the Video Recordings Act came to fruition? "Evil Dead" - Mary Whitehouse's number one video nasty. Fact is, if they try to ban anything like a video game or movie it'll only rouse more interest in whatever the media is, this sparks the interest of the money men and any subsequent legislation is either watered down or never makes it into action because the judges deem the proposed clamp downs as a threat to free speach. Damn straight. It's always the same when a new media comes along which threatens the status quo - video nasties did it, back when prosecutors believed "Cannibal Holocaust" was real - now video games are the prevalent 'new' media and ever since the early 90's there's been fuss about video game violence, I remember when ELSPA was formed and ratings started appearing on video games. I've still got my copy of Robocop VS Terminator - unrated, back in the day before media frenzy surrounding such things. Twats like Hilary Clinton may try and keep new media down, but human nature demands violence and a thirst for blood and really, simulated violence does much more good, vastly more good, than it does any kind of bad. It satisfies our needs for it. It's all part of moving forward and boot-shakers like Clinton or Whitehouse or whoever-the-f*ck won't stop a thing. Guaranteed. Not even "we'll barge it through regardless" Labour will be able to shove through the legislation opposing 'violent' pornography, the consultation on that proposal has already been set back twice - it's long grass for that newest anti-media-whinge. ----- Also, Hellsing, did you get my PM? Some folk don't get theirs and I wanted to check. Either way, PM me back, cheers.

that whole cannibal holocaust thing was pure fried gold, when they asked for proof and all the dead people walked into the courtroom and the director was like "good enough?". plus a state in america, beginning with p i think has now banned any game that involves harming people, so what about halo?, technically you can kill your own men by accident.

[MinionZombie]

Guaranteed that legislation is overturned on appeal, a few other pieces of legislation that were put in place to limit the sale of Mature rated games have all been rescinded after they were instated upon appeal by the games industry. It's utterly futile - if you don't want your kids playing violent games, get involved in your kid's friggin' life instead of relying on the Xbox to babysit for you while you pop percodans like they were Skittles. Train shop staff properly - even if they're morons with more snot than braincells - to see ID before completing a transaction on an "M" rated game. Americans always seem to make a meal out of a simple thing such as this issue. If only there was a "Common Sense" party you could vote for ... which doesn't exist.
