:::::::::Aside from that: Yes, because it was only liberals saying this and not concerned Christians. On the same note, no conservative organisation would ever find one minute of [partial nudity] and claim the game was a 30-hour graphic sex simulator. Definately not Fox vs. Mass Effect.

:::::::::Actually, I think you'll find that's due to claims of racism, sexism, and other forms of bigotry in the game, not the violence (I have not played it myself, so I do not know if these claims are true), and the relative lack of popularity is down to it being...well...not very good, basically.

Added content pertaining to the Hot Coffee Scandal and the Manhunt 2 worrys, as well as a small spot about Virginia Tech. All of these events have dealt some blows to the gaming industry. People need to understand that the ESRB ratings are there for a reason. Maybe if Parents wouldn't give their kids 'GTA 4' for Christmas, they won't have to complain when little Johnny starts sealing cars. And the link between violence and video games is negligible. For example, millions of people play CounterStrike all over the world. Most of them are stable, sane people.
And I will state, here and now, that I take personal offense to anyone who says that gamers are violent, unstable people. I have friends and family who play games, and they are stable, healthy people with good family lives and values. [User:CodyH|CodyH] 07:11 28 January 2008 [CST]
