On MSNBC today, U.S. senator Lamar Alexander (a Tennessee Republican) set a new benchmark for insanity by claiming that games are worse than guns.
A gorgeous real-world Miraidon from Pokemon Scarlet and Violet has been created in Japan by the Toyota Engineering Society.
JDR thinks the gaming industry needs more licensed IPs. It's basically a cry for Firefly: The Game, and why not? JDR delves deeper into why more isn't adapted for the interactive screen.
Nah. Video games are their own thing they wouldn't be improved by leeching off Hollywood more.

Only if they're good, if its going to be a 2D sprite art game, you can get away with a small team and small budget.

"We don't want to change them, we don't want the blame to be on us for making them in the first place....lets blame video games instead"
I have literally never heard something so retarded. The only way a game can kill someone, assuming there's no mental disorder that causes influence, is to take the actual game disc, case, or console and beat someone to death with it.
It's people like this that are the problem.
It's simple really Guns are a much bigger business and these So called senators benefit a lot from big Gun making company's.
