Gaming worse than porn ?

Spotted this in the news, http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/technology/8453043.stm

I know from my experience that violent behaviour in young people does not stem from video games. It tends to stem from social deprivation, alcohol, lack of authority, broken family units and sometimes it is just in a persons nature.

Games don't make people violent. They have a problem to start off with.

But credit where credit is due, the porn industry does bring technology in to the film industry etc quicker. The porn industry is always first to try new things out online and police themselves really well to make sure that it isn't extremely easy for a kid to get to the main legal stuff as apposed to random porn sites no controlled by the main porn industry.

Gaming doesn't cause violence. Watching Max Payne and seeing what people can do to ruin the name of such a brilliant piece of entertainment causes violence. God that was crap.

Doom. Far Cry. BloodRayne. Alone in the Dark. Postal.

[Revolver]

What about them?

[skeletor]

Ruined games by shitty films.

[Revolver]

Far Cry? Lol. Never knew that one. Doom was dreaful.

Someone should do a Soul Reaver series, since Vampires are all the fuss at the moment it could be a fucking epic series that one.

Far Cry was worse than Doom, a lot worse.

Postal wasn't all too bad, had some funny bits and some nice tits.

Dungeon Siege film wasn't too bad. Probably the best game -> film I have seen, behind Mario of course.

Most of the films mentioned are made by Uwe Boll, the chap just butchers game = movies. Theres even a petition online to stop him making new games-movies www.stopuweboll.org

In terms of staying TRUE to the game the best film was without a doubt Silent Hill. Everything from the story to the characters to the textures matched the games almost perfect. So be it not a fantastic film

Yeah but it had Rhada Mitchell in it and she looked hawt.

Oh yeah, FF13 is supposed to be shit.
