Industry Review
The government is launching a review into video games, violence and the effects on children, Psychologist Tanya Byron is heading a study, which will also examine how to protect children from online material.
With this in mind and the British Board of Film Classification (BBFC) refusing to give a classification to a modified version Manhunt 2, I thought I'd round up a few links and chip in my opinion on the matter, but actually my opinion isn't any different than anybody else's, "BBC: Industry reacts to games review", that young kids shouldn't be playing violent games, parents should use the rating when buying games for their kids and that violent games don't make people act violently, there are social issues which it is easy to lay the blame at the games industry.
