Did I read that list right? Prince of Persia as recommended non-violent gaming? While I don't think kids would be harmed by it, the game opens with you chopping up what's left of the Sultan's army. If they're going to be braindead fundies at the very least they could be consistant.

So lemme get this straight...Halo 2 and Half-Life 2 are a good deal /more/ violent than 'You're making snuff films as you kill people in grotesque ways' Manhunt, 'I'm rampaging around, killing people at random, pissing on them and shoving kitties onto rifle muzzles ass-first' Postal 2, and 'Hi, I just tore your BLEEDING HEART OUT OF YOUR CHEST MUAHA!' Mortal Kombat. W...t...f?

Madden NFL 2005 - that game is ALL ABOUT hitting people... And when the Buccaneers cause a fumble with :15 seconds left and Rice waddles the ball downfield 75 yards with 3 WR and an HB hanging off him for a TD to give them the lead...

Yeah, it fucking well causes violence RIGHT THERE!

It's simple. A game's bloodyness is equal to it's popularity; IE, Prince of Persia, being a commercial flop if a critical success, is non-violent while Halo & HL 2, being about the most popular-selling games in the history of mankind, are automatically violent.

Why do fundies consider Doom3 to be "bad" - you're killing evil hell demons and those who (obviously due to being sinners and not of faith) have been turned into evil hell zombies...

Because it's some no-name marine, not Jesus going around killing hellspawn?

Well, he doesn't have a name, so you could very well be playing as the Second Coming, for all we know.

Now here's an idea for a game:

The rapture starts, God and all the angels appear to bring about the apocalypse. The object of the game is to mount a counter offensive, rise up and destroy God before he annihilates mankind. Basically Doom but with angels and Jesus on the wrong end of the chaingun.

Dude- that's an awesome idea for a video game.

I'd like to point out that Gunslinger Girls 2 is not even available in the United States, and Hitman: Blood Money doesn't come out until next year.

Way to do your research, soccer moms.

Messed up list.
While a lot of those 'most violent' games are quite violent, I'm very surprised that Prince of Persia got a lower score than Halo 2 in terms of violence, even getting on the recommended games
And Mario Power Tennis? Karaoke games? Can they please recommend some FUN games? Metroid Prime, perhaps? Zelda?

But fun is eeeevil...

Yes, but you're only killing dirty Arabs, who's decendants would most likely be terrorists anyway, so it's no big deal.

Oh comon...San Andreas is easily more satanic/evil/violent than Doom 3! Just for that, I'm going to go run over some old ladies and use my flamethrower on the cops......

I'm thinking like many they did no research and so thought the new Prince of Persia was like the original Prince of Persia with little actual violence. Other than getting skewered on spikes, falling to your death, etc.

I'd like to see someone use that and get Prince of Persia for their kids and then get pissed when they find out it's really violent.

Sheeah. If someone absolutely HAS to be a fundie, at least they could pay the rest of us the respect of being an intelligent fundie. Stupid fucks.

Agreed. The controversy alone surrounding the production of this game would be enough to propel it's sales into the stars. I wouldn't be surprised if something like that eclipsed even Halo 2. Think about it. Keep it under wraps all the way up until zero day. Want to make it even worse? Make the game a MMORPG. Would have to be PvP oriented, though. demons vs. angels using earth as a battleground. oh, man...I would so make that game....

Yeah saw the list on PA...and like they pointed out one of them doesn't exist here, and another needs time travel to get for Christmas.

I mean if you're going to do a list at least do your research and not show up as complete fools.

Penny Arcade

Pretty much sums up the numnuts-ness of this list.

obviously they have never seen my hedgemazes of madness or my launch them into orbit rollercoasters....

This Gunslinger Girl franchise looks kind of sweet. Maybe I'll check it out.

Only if Venom is on the soundtrack.

Well the problem is that logic, rationality, and simple common sense play no actual role in the decisions made for this list.

obviously since sex and violence sell the more money the title is predicted to make the more sex and violence it has. after all I just make hedge mazes that kill people (because they are unsolvable), and rollercoasters of the steel frame launch variety (that send you flying off the bleeping map)

neither of these are actually violent. (mind you the time I had test coaster A) test run crash through three rides had the highest body count)
