HookedGamers writes: "When Harmonix announced that Green Day would be the recipient of their second stand-alone band-centric game I certainly scratched my head in confusion. Following up a band-centric title that featured the Beatles would certainly be a tough act but following them up with Green Day was something many gamers certainly did not see coming. Green Day certainly has had a lengthy and fairly noteworthy career filled with multi-platinum albums and number one hits but when compared to other bands that have received the full band game treatment (Aerosmith, Metallica, The Beatles, and Van Halen) they are arguably not in the same league (indeed, the editor here is scratching his head, wondering who these Green Day guys are). Regardless of opinionated debates on the validity of choosing Green Day to receive the full band treatment there is no arguing the fact that they do in fact have their own game chronicling their career."
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."
zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz Green day sucks.
