From PlayStation Universe: "This will likely be one of the shortest reviews you’ll read here at PSU, and for good reason. Green Day: Rock Band is exactly what it sounds like – a Green Day version of Rock Band. If you like the band and music games, you’ll probably enjoy this title. If you don’t like either, guess what? You probably won’t like this game. It’s not that Green Day: Rock Band is a bad game or a great game; it’s just another music game. Let’s put it this way, when reviewing the game we felt like we were judging a vanilla ice cream contest. It’s easy to like vanilla ice cream, but after sampling one hundred scoops, you start to want something else in that classic taste – maybe some sprinkles or caramel. Green Day: Rock Band is just another scoop of vanilla, and we so want to try Chunky Monkey. Still, ice cream is pretty much always delicious."
It appears as if the old punk-rock band Green Day has complained about violent video games and MMA fights to Kerrang. So this is my (Robin Ek, TGG) take on the matter.
I agree about this article. Green Day hasn't been revelant since.There is difference between fiction and reality. Before you disagree me, video game don't make people violence but other people who have low mentally issue and can't control themselves. Most people would agree with me that is parents fault for not educated their children enough. When I was child, I had mental problems but thank to my parents for educated me. I can see the difference. The only thing I can worry about playing video game is the health safety. Playing video game too long could cause people tired or brain damage. Like I said, video game never make people violence.
Doom is FPS game and it is violence,but I played the game and it didn't affect me because it's fictional. It's video game goddamit.

"Yes, I agree with you. Like I said, the only I worry about people playing video game. It's people health especially a person who has unstable mind and need a treatment ASAP. And also, there are some young age people who play violence video game are not affect this because these people are lucky to have parents who know how to teach their children well."
Exactly, and crazy and evil people have existed far longer than video games have...
Pathetic from Green Day.
I'm sure they don't like it when people say that their music makes people want to cut themselves and hurt others, so you would think they would know better than to bring out this tired old argument about games.
GuG Writer, Wesley Wood does a review of Green Day Rock Band on the Wii.
VGW's Brian Shea: "The notion of downloadable content is commonplace in today’s landscape of launch-day DLC and season passes, but prior to 2007, to have a legitimate, laid-out plan to support a console game post-launch was not a common occurrence. Harmonix, a company that was in the midst of a transition away from the most popular franchise in the industry at the time, Guitar Hero, had a vision for a brand new IP that would eventually revolutionize the concept of downloadable content."
