Gaming Entertainment? Or training killers?

1.) Moore is reported to have told police, "Life is like a video game. Everybody’s got to die sometime." His brother Steve, a Methodist minister, wants the video game industry to pay: "Why does it have to come to a point to where somebody's life has to be taken before they realize that these games have repercussions to them? Why does it have to be to where my brother's not here anymore," says Steve Strickland. "There's not a day that goes by that I don't think about him."

2.) Doug Lowenstein, who represents the video game industry. "I don't think video games inspire people to commit crimes," says Lowenstein. "If people have a criminal mind, it's not because they're getting their ideas from the video games. There's something much more deeply wrong with the individual. And it's not the game that's the problem."

3.) Violent video games shouldn't be sold to minors and that the states should consider laws that would ban the sale of violent games to those under 17.

4.) They should think twice before the game designers or companies to create such a violent game. They have all the responsibility upon every teenagers behavior since they created the game in the first place and now anyone can have their hands on the game even youngsters.
