Head-to-Head Debate on Videogame Violence

daRk_heLmet · Jun 6, 2005, 04:34 PM

1UP is reprinting an article originally in EGM that had a head-to-head debate between two people on opposite ends of the videogame violence issue: Jack Thompson, a trial lawyer who has become the spokesperson for those seeking restrictions on gaming, and Henry Jenkins, a director at MIT who has testified in the U.S. Senate and helped overturn a decision that stated games were not covered under the First Admendment. This debate covers the ESRB, parental and governmental responsibility, and of course, the idea of games being killing simulators.

All these constant battles in the war of violent games is making me irritated...

Kids would never have gotten a hold of such games if the parents wouldn't let them.
