i disagree with you and think your opinion stinks. regulation is necessary. similar to how you regulate what you eat, you need to regulate how you think as well, otherwise you turn into a moron like yourself. playing games, watching movies, listening music that feed your mind negative and twisted messages make you as twisted. and shut up about "what i can and can't handle" because you can't handle it. since you're too immature to handle censorship this shows you're too immature to handle a game like this. stop trying to pull everyone into thinking like you, we don't need a world filled with douchebags who think that just because i can handle then it should be available for eveyone so they play it, f*ck up their mind, and go hurt others. jerk off.

Whoa. Dude, seriously, you're going a bit far. This is a gaming website more full of opinions then facts. Syko was just stating his/her opinion and trashing him/her like that is immature and over the top. You may not agree with Syko but that doesn't mean you should attack him/her for it.

Like I said, this is a gaming site, not a political/idealistic soap box for you to stand on and preach to the masses. Your opinion is just as valid as any others but please refrain from personal attacks and name calling.

you should be on my side. you supposedly don't have a problem with censoship. and your arguing against these morons in here. why are you defending them now.

whatever, you're just like everyone else. thinking that its ok to release sick and twisted games and then when sh*t happens liek brother killing brother, teenager going on rampages, and whatever you're all like its the parents fault its the parents fault, games don't teach kids to be mean games don't affect us at all. you're all f*ckin stupid and ignorant. grow up and open your f*ckin eyes.

First of all, I try my best to be objective. I try not to take sides unless the matter insists that I stand up for a good and honorable cause. While your cause may be for the good of morality it is far from being honorable. The way you have argued is immature and verbally violent and for being someone who is against unethical video games such as Manhunt 2 you are delving into and responding with a similar emotional attitude as the very game you are against.

While I agree that Manhunt 2 is an irresponsible attempt at entertainment it does not mean that it should be banned for everyone. There are adults who are very capable of playing such games and continue to be mentally and socially stable.

We have freedom of expression and although Manhunt 2 is a game that exploits this as far as it can, it's still our freedom. I've never been impressed with R*'s attitude toward gaming but that's my opinion, and yours is yours, and Syko's is Syko's. So let it go.

If you want someone to listen to your rants maybe you should mail Jack Thompson a letter explaining your opinion. He tries his best at turning opinion into fact. Maybe you'll both get lucky but I doubt it.

P.S. I see you only have two bubbles and I was at first hesitant to take one but with your unnecessary attack on Syko and your poorly thought out argument I must insist that your bubbles be diminished.

R*'s point about strengthening gaming is a valid one but strengthening gaming also includes a moral responsibility by the industry to develop games that are ethical and do not portray human life as valueless or expendable.

There are other ways to strengthen gaming without resorting to irresponsible and grotesque creations of artisitic expression.

I apologize but what's s/w?

EDIT: While I agree with you that the rating system should be robust and that this is a great example of it working, I don't necessarily think the ESRB is an adequate system. It has a few flaws that need to be addressed.

s/w means SoftWare, in other words games.

Your honesty and attempt at being objective are appreciated.

You sir are someone who understands the dangerous and morally degrading nature of this game yet also understands the primal and grotesque desire of the human animal. Bubble for you.
