the first story is sad and a serious issue which the governments and people are ignoring when selling games to under 18’s and allowing children to play violent games in cybercafes. I have seen personally here in mumbai in 1 cybercafe , 2 kids fighting when one used a sniper when they were supposed to be playing some pistol only game ( CS ) .
Also i had read somewhere , one person killed the other when he sold of some rare virtual weapon in an online game ( japn i think ).
lol, I must have read half a dozen stories like this, the accused were usally fans of GTA series and Manhunt(some dude wanted to see how it wud be if he choked some1 to death with a plastic bag, like in the game)…It’s just far fetched, honestly the games arent to be blamed, if that was the case I think movies are to be blamed on a larger extent…
However, there was a small news item in the International Section of yesterday’s Times of India, hidden away in some corner that said a 12 year boy in Russia played shooter games at a local computer club for as many as 12 hours a day, he used to go home only for food and sleep, he’s been doing it since his vacations started, thats like a month or so ago and he died of brain haemorrhage…
you got it wrong , games are to be blamed for all these incidents. you only said about how some dude wanted to see how it wud be if he choked some1 to death with a plastic bag, like in the game . Games have much more impact as you are the character playing it for hours compared to a movie hero who is a different person and more likely exposure to a movie is limited compared to easy acccesibilty to video games.
I’ve been playing violent games since I was 7 and I can safely say that I haven’t strangulated, kinfed, shot anyone nor run 'em over with a car or a bike. Thing is that these ‘morons’ who ‘act’ out certain ‘impressionable’ scenes from certain ‘violent’ games are in some way or another ‘mentally’ challenged. Just check out the idiot’s excuse:
“I wanted to kill my father since he made a fool out of me. I decided to kill my mother as well, since she was always saying that she wanted to die because of all the work she had to do. I felt sorry for her.”
How can anyone possibly blame this on games? Some dude goes into a police station and caps some cops in the head and goes “life’s a game” CLEARLY has some brain malfunction.
Hello, anybody can amass 100 bucks and go watch movies, sure you can go to cyber cafes, but I dont think there are more cyber cafes than theatres, or for that matter a cyber cafe can fit in a max of 25 ppl at a time. I am not telling that games arent to be blamed. All I am saying is if you go as far and say games make ppl go violent, u shud hold movies and TV serials responsible too(on a larger scale)…My POV is Mentally insecure/weak ppl do these kind of weird things and games/movies aernt to be blamed for them. Games are games and Movies are movies, they arent to be held responsible for what some jerk did in some corner of the world, the jerk himself is responsible for what he did. Theres no point in bringing out points like “He was a fan of such and such a game”, who cares what his taste of games/movies/songs were…
This is really a saddening story!
Children should learn to distinguish between fiction and reality!

^ yea that’s already ben posted.
And i think their parents and the kids itselft are to blame, not the games. The games are ESRB rated - E for Everyone, M for Mature. All GTA games, including all horror/thriller games are ‘M’ rated and parents should make sure their kids should not be getting it, why would they want their kids doing the pimping missions or picking up and paying hookers after they they do their ‘work’ ?
My younger bro has been playing games like Resident Evil, Silent Hill and GTA since the age of 10, just like many otherk kids do, do all of them go out and kill pedestrians ?? Only the ones who aren’t taken care of commit these wierd crimes which then the games get the blames.
keep him away from the game if u know whats good for u…hehe
