Then I read the part about assuming that violence is being rewarded. Er, hello? It seem the author is the only person making that assumption.

Either the creator of the game isn’t nearly as clever as they like to think, or they have made the same mistake as many slightly intelligent people in so far as they make assumptions about other people’s intelligence and reasoning.

Sorry, but the vast majority of people can tell the difference between computer games and real life. And know full well that violence in real life has serious repercussions. Jeez, computer games are just for fun. Some people may take them seriously, but only for a certain value of “serious”. Indeed some research has shown that children who regularly play violent computer games are less likely to use violence in real life. Presumably because those games have taught them the consequences of violence can be very serious.

So please, please take your cod psychology back to your bedroom until you can think of something truly insightful to say with it.

There’s also an underlying message that the designer of this ‘game’ believes that people who play games with violence in them confuse games with reality. This just isn’t true – anyone who would confuse a game with reality is just confused about reality, game or not, and needs help.

I prefer “Punchopoly” where ever time you land on a property, instead of paying rent, I punch you in the face. It teaches you life lessons about playing moronic games.

But nothing more than a virus wrapped in trojan that he calls a game.

And you wonder why Nortons and McAfee make so much money.
