German shooting linked to Far Cry 2. Really?

Gamezine: The German school killer played Far Cry 2 the night before his murdering rampage, so expect the wider media to labour the point.

The Times has reported on further evidence in the south-west Germany shootings, where 17-year-old Tim Kretschmer killed nine pupils and three teachers at the Albertville secondary school in the town of Winnenden, north of Stuttgart, before killing himself.

The game Counterstrike has already been mentioned in passing, which was described by the Associated Press to be a game that "involves killing people to complete missions." Now Ubisoft's 2008 release Far Cry 2 has been connected to the shooting.
