Personally, I hate Jessica Simpson's music. And the second that someone goes on a murder spree and it turns out he/she had a Jessica Simpson CD, I'm going to jump at the chance to say "Jessica Simpson's music drives people to violent crimes! It must be banned! Banned, I tell you!"

I think anyone who chose to play games where you hire prostitutes and kill them should probably be put in prison before they commit said act in real life.
Prevention is the best cure.

But you've gotta love some of the old Atari and Nintendo Games. Space Invaders will never grow old for me. Asteroids rocks. And on the Super Nintendo, I couldn't get enough of F-Zero. THEY are fun games.
.... oh, and of course, Super Mario Kart.

The only game I really got into was mortal kombat. Not because of Finishing moves. But because Sub Zero was so damn cool!
I like strategy games and RPGs. Warcraft is my all time favorite (simcity is 2nd place).
KOTOR was a big step in my video game career. I bought in based on what you guys said, and IGN.com.
When it works, I will probably enjoy it. Till then I'm all about warcraft!!!!!

However, if someone enjoys playing the bad guy and killing imaginary prostitutes and what not, there is absolutely nothing wrong with it, in my opinion. After all, who gets hurt? As long as the person can see the difference between fantasy and reality, I'm fine with them doing whatever they want to imaginary prostitutes and the like.

That's dandy if they can tell the difference between reality and fantasy. But for the record, I would just like to state that I think people who fantasize about killing prostitutes are creepy.

at first I played GTA like a professional, very carefull, very smooth...
but there were one too many times when i was trying to get away from the bad guys... and really bad drivers where hitting my car, resulting in my death, or capture, and worst of all mission failure...
so i jumped onto the back of a random ute and as it drove me around I started pluging people randomly, I call it Serial killing Safari Style!
It's fun, I kill, I kill, I kill, and then I do some jumps, and then kill some more... I love it... and yet? No Psychopathic tendacies arise when i leave the game, no matter how rude people are to me on the street...
BECAUSE I'M NOT CRAZY!!! I just like violent video games...
that's no so bad...
but what gets me about the office of film and literature classification board in australia... is how they deemed the killing of a prostitute as being much worse than giving a granny a facefull of flamethrower... or blugeoning sunbathers at the beach with a hammer...
why that one mission? is there some personal issue we should know about one of the overlords at the OFLC? someone there got a second job? hmmm...
besides which, killing a prostitute after normal business has been conducted is technically murder/theft/refund. But not "sexual violence" or "rape" - which is what they said it was promoting...
. don't get me wrong, I agree with Amber-Nicloe about it being creepy, in fact it goes beyond that... all I want to know... is of all the things you do in that game why that one thing was considered the worst?
I did far worse things...
then you've got Deus Ex (sp). there's a girls school there... little school girls walking around, all of which you can kill, pick up the bodies and throw them at other people....
No problem there, according to the perceptive OFLC...
keep up the good work, lads.
