in order for games to make you violent you need to already have a mental problem and the game will set that off. ppl dont get that, a reasonable person knows that its just a game so they are fine it reality. It is the games fault that they already have a condition. If the game wasnt there im sure something else in the society would set them off

ATiElite4822d ago

What mORON with a college degree sat around and made this crap up? So what was the cause of all the murders and serial killers before video games or even TV was invented?

The only thing video games do is provide good entertainment!! With the amount of FPS on the market today, everybody in the world would be dead if this had any fact to it.

Get a Life.

I dunno, Fox news clearly causes people to start shooting democrats, so maybe there is something to video games and violence.

LMAO "Fox News" more like "Fox Propaganda"

Guns don't kill people..The Bullets do.

BabyTownFrolics4821d ago

fox is just trolling

they know that video games dont really dont turn normal people in violent people, it just gets folks watching

in fact by writing articles like this and not mocking them for their deceit simply legitimizes their faulty premise. Just do what you always do with trolls, ignore them.

unless your hoping to pick up some Fox scraps and get some hits

B1663r4821d ago

No Fox news is not trolling. They have to compensate for their news (and to a greater degree AM radio) which is so awful that it causes people to go insane and start shooting democrats.

Sheesh, they have people so insane on their staff that Bill O'Reilly is having to smack down Glen Beck for being too insane.

DuneBuggy4821d ago (Edited 4821d ago )

Are you refering to the guy who shot U.S. Rep. Gabrielle Giffords last month? If so, do yourself a favor and find out the truth before making assumptions.Even the mainstream media dropped that angle like a hotplate when they discovered he was a far left wackjob....Who..uhh didnt watch ANY televised news or talk radio.

B1663r4821d ago

Yes, and no, Nazi Skinheads have more in common with republicans, than they do liberals. Sorry.

Sorry..He read Hitler's book Mein Kampf who was a socialist.He was also fond of the Communist Manefesto. Former friends interviewed refered to him as being a "far left guy". Need links????

Maybe you should just stick to talking about video games...Just saying.

A arguement can be made that hes just a nut job anarchist, but IMO your way out of line aluding that he is a Conservative or even a Republican.

@dunebuggy

I think he might have been trying to prove a point with that remark.

And to this article... I had to stop reading it once I read this part "This is the kind of crap I would expect from the likes of the Daily Mail, but not a well respected media giant like Fox." Well respected media giant...???!!!! Media giant maybe... but about as well respected as Al Jazeera.

DuneBuggy4820d ago (Edited 4820d ago )

And...what point do you think hes trying to make? That he can blurt out a ignorant statement based not on ANY facts, but rather his desire to finger point at Fox News and talk radio? So he proved hes clueless on the subject IMO.

As for Fox being a "respected media giant"? Guess it is considering Obama just did a interview with them and im sure hes a HUGE Fox fan ;)

But more on topic.Why would anyone CARE if a news channel feels the need to inform ignorant parents? (not stupid mind you as there is a distinction) Well I guess a 12 year old would care if their mom read it and wont let them play God of War or any other mature title.
Fine by me.When the kid grows up, they can buy any game they want.Untill then, theres plenty of other games to choose from.

Duty Calls - Epic Games' Forgotten Call of Duty Parody

Back in 2011, Epic Games and People Can Fly launched a Call of Duty parody - Duty Calls - that has been lost to the annals of history.

closed_account314d ago

"Duty Calls: The Calm Before the Storm" sounds more like a massive case of the sh**s. 😂

I saw the parody mention, and half expected the ability to drop a deuce on your opponent... I left disappointed.

Bulletstorm - A Cult Classic Worthy of Revival?

Bulletstorm will soon receive a VR remake, but is it worth revisiting? Take a look back at the original 2011 release.

IMissJimRyan322d ago

Absolutely. I remember when the game came out on ps360, I thought: "wow, another shooter" and in the 7th gen that wasn't an unfair reaction.

But when the game was re-release on ps4 I took my time an played it (it was on playstation plus at the time) because, ironically, I missed a shooter in that console. And boy, what a fun game! They made a game to be played and not to be watched. It was a fresh air in the genre that deserved better.

So yes. Maybe it find its audience this time.

SullysCigar321d ago

It's an awesome game. The only exception (for my taste) is the script writing, which is OTT, but I guess that's what they were going for. It does at least match the OTT action and gore. I thought it was great overall and actually being in this game is going to be bonkers!

IMissJimRyan321d ago

Yeah, I agree that storywise it's not an Oscar nominee, but it's like a porn movie in game format.

Abnor_Mal321d ago (Edited 321d ago )

Agree with the over the top script, and felt at the time that was the only thing that people were hyped about, the language and not game play.

But in vr this game is going to be great. It has everything that would make a great vr game. Lots of bombastic action, gunplay, blood, and that leash.

Looking at the gameplay now it seems that the game was ahead of it’s time and was perfect for vr before vr wasn’t even off the ground.

Venoxn4g321d ago

I loved the game back in the day and will love in VR even more!

Yui_Suzumiya321d ago (Edited 321d ago )

I got it on PS3 at launch and am still waiting for the long rumored sequel to finally be announced. Currently have it on Switch and wish a physical version of that would be released. Absolutely love it.

FinalFantasyFanatic321d ago

I actually feel like this game gets revived all the time, not that I hate the game, I actually quite like it, it's just constantly available, unfortunately I'm not a fan of VR so I'll be skipping this version.

Bloodborne is a game I still restart and play every few months. I would welcome just a re release in 60fps with a visual upgrade. It's a perfect game. If I was king for a day I would include the randomizer mods because then it would be a kind of rogue like and I could play it forever.

gleepot356d ago

Sure, ill take a sequel to all of these.
