Darryl Linington from ITF Gaming writes: The video game industry has been targeted once again for promoting violence, sexual themes and unhealthy marathon gaming. Let’s be real, allowing children/teenagers to play video games that are not intended for their specific age group can be classed as taking a child to an R rated movie, or even supplying them with alcohol while under-age. These ratings and age limits have been placed on the product for a reason and should not be ignored. We support healthy gaming habits and we do not blame the video game industry for any acts of violence or anti-social behaviour. We do however believe it is up to the parents to monitor and track what their children are exposed to.
It seems it was long time ago. A bunch of friends spending hours on end playing RPG games, sitting around the table with the box of cold pizza. Excited about the story, listening to the Game Master, they were completely engaged in the worlds only visible to them and their imaginations.
The GM is the programmer, and in MMOs and co-ops, you can play with others. If you want to ONLY use your imagination for the visuals, read a book.
Scrawl: "Looks like we know how that new Compile Heart countdown is going to end. The latest issue of Famitsu has confirmed that Agarest Senki 2, known as Record of Agarest War 2 in the US, is Compile Heart’s newest title."
1) Hope they put it on disc this time.
2) Hope this is a positive for Neptune coming over as well.
If so, that's being developed & published by Idea Factory. Compile Heart has nothing to do with it (Thank God for that).
Thought Compile Heart was one of the companies lending characters.
Was also speaking in general as in regards to a US of Neptune. If these guys are offing a second game, NIS or Atlus, both of whom offer quirkier titles, will put that one out.
@kagon01:
My issue isn't - wholly - with the DL-only option, but the price. The first game should be $30. Maybe $40, and by that I mean $39.99. The only reason its $45 is the 360 disc version which has extras. Nevermind that by all rights its a PS2 game. Something that proabbly could have been done if the devs had the GOW2 engine or tools.
I approve of this god damn message.
Could have gotten my 60 bucks if they just put it on a disc.

Is this a half decent SRPG, porn aside, cause if it is, i might just decide to go and buy it for the 360.
There's no porn just some sexual innuendos but that's it.
Also it is a great game by itself, maybe not graphically but everything else is top tier.
Yup, it's a decent game. I just hate that a move has to go first before any attack options.
This is not the first time that Bless Online receives a server merge in Korea. An announcement was made on the official Korean site.
Bless must be an amazing game to be on all these platforms (according to the tags): iPad iPhone Nintendo DS PC PS Vita PS2 PS3 PS4 PSP Wii Wii U Xbox Xbox 360 Xbox One
Seriously? Research has been done that PROVES that video games doesn't lead to violence, it actually relieves stress and calms u down
Trivia time:
Did you know violence didn't exist before the advent of the Video Game?
In fact, Video Games were one of the major contributing factors to the start of the crusades.
Richard I, after a rather lengthy session playing the classic Call of Duty: Battle for Hastings, triggered the protracted conflict after a 10 year old Arab child called him a "faggot" over Xbox Live.
The more you know...
its funny how people still blame videogames for everything, but movies dont get blamed for their obsesive violence, or how videogames stereotype women, go listen to a shitty lil wayne song, and youll understand.
This is a reflection of parenting these days, not video games. How do u let ur kid sit in his room for 4 days? I know, because he probably rules the household with temper tantrums etc. You can't discipline children anymore, so u look for babysitters and video games r wonderful at that. She says no more Xbox. I wish I knew his gamertag, because my guess is that he is back on in a week.
I cant believe he would stop him from playing Arkham city when batman is all about justice. Stopping a kid from playing batman is villainous.
