First, you get to kill the protagonist’s mother as she sleeps. The game instructs you to shoot her four times. The narrative continues when you arrive at the school, kicking doors in and shooting scared children and teachers begging for mercy.
The question must be raised: when will all gamers and developers entertain the idea that video game violence can be taken too far?
No one is close to evaluating what the 2013 Game of the Year is, if by “Game of the Year” we mean what the term suggests — a game that’s better than everything else in 2013.
Following film critic Armond White’s approach to movies, I compare video games of 2013 and explain why some are better than others. Because I am a cheap bastard who doesn’t believe we should be paying $60 for most video games, my Better-Than List focuses on more affordable titles, some of which were critical darlings for very dubious reasons.

Giving this publicity, really?
The creator of this game must have sure put a lot of effort into reminding everyone of a horrific (and incredibly recent) tragedy where innocent children and teachers were murdered...
You know we should really stop submitting this type of news. It has nothing to do with true gaming and it is offensive and just plain sick.
We as a gaming community get enough flack from the media as games are blamed for every thing violent that happens. We should not condone or even promote anything like this story or game on this site.
This game will end up being used by anti game politicians as a platform for banning games. The person who made just game just set the industry back 5 years.
Wow, why else would you review this title other than for traffic? I mean, seriously. If you're comparing this to GTA then you need a brain check. Yes, they both involve violence, but this is based on a real crime, not the fictional shit you do in GTA.
You should feel ashamed of yourselves for publicizing this game. Publicizing it, imo, makes you look just as bad as the guy who made the game.
