02/12/2004 07:27 PMReuters - Bolstered by outrage from
Haitian Americans and parents over a top-selling game, a group
of Florida lawmakers is moving to stiffen penalties for
retailers that sell or rent violent or sexually explicit
computer games to minors.

07/05/2004 06:18 AMLegislators and activists who want some titles kept out of kids' hands
are on the warpath again against the video-game industry. Game makers,
however, seem to delight in amping up the virtual gore.

Correlation, Causation, Violent Video
Games... And Church
03/19/2005 03:18 AMWhile some have been quick to
link all sorts of violent video games to crimes committed by teens,
there's plenty to suggest they'
re not the problem. To make a similar point, someone has noticed
that a number of recent mass murderers
were religious
church-goers, yet no one is blaming church for their killing
sprees -- nor should they. It's easy to show a correlation. It's
much more difficult to prove that one thing really resulted in the
other.

Games Backfires
12/22/2004 01:16 AMSomeone who prefers to remain anonymous writes
"Illinois Gov. Rod Blagojevich had his crusade against violent and
sexually explicit video games backfire when his office promoted the wrong Web site. The reported site also included
links to pages on Amazon.com where the games the governor believes are
offensive can be easily purchased. Kinda serves the Governor office
right for not registering the .com when registering the .org."
It's amazing how many times this sort of thing happens, where someone
promotes a .com instead of a .org -- but this time, whoever bought the
.com made sure that it was very much opposed to the plan.

down in committee. Another bill, requiring retailers to separate out
the violent games from the non-violent games also received very little
support.

New Zealand Bans Violent Video Game
12/12/2003 02:02 PMIn one single action, New Zealand's "Chief Censor" has just given
Rockstar Game's Manhunt more publicity than they probably could have
bought. New Zealand is
completely banning the game for being too violent. I don't
know anything about the game, and it certainly doesn't sound like
anything I'd want to play. If New Zealand wants to ban it, that's
their issue. My question, though, if the game is so dangerous that no
one should dare be allowed to view it, how come the folks at the
Censor's office haven't gone crazy shooting up the world? What makes
them so special that they can view the game, realize it's "just a
game" and continue acting in a civilized way in the real world? How
come they think that everyone else in the country doesn't have that
ability?

02/07/2005 02:07 AMCory Doctorow:
I wrote a short story called
Anda's Game that Salon published last year -- it's about kids
working in sweatshops playing Massively Multiplayer Online RPGs,
grinding through repetitive tasks to earngold for sleazy operators who
sell the product of their labor on eBay. The inspiration came from a
real-world account of that sort of sweatshops, which has hit the news
again today, in a story about the courtroom shenanigans stemming from
video games:
A multiplayer online game is sued for allowing its players to dress up
like comic book heroes. An upstart company winds up in court for
creating a Tijuana sweatshop to manufacture digital weaponry.
A funny thing is happening in these sprawling online multiplayer
arenas. The ultimate in digital escapism, virtual worlds keep ending
up in the ultimate in depressing reality: the courts.

Video Games Aren't Just For Guys...
Again
09/01/2004 08:58 PMEvery few month or so, there seems to be some random story about how
only guys play video games, and how a bigger effort needs to be made
to make games for women. Of course, nearly every attempt to target
women specifically has failed -- but what people haven't noticed is
that women are playing games all the time. In fact, they're
considered
some of
the hardest core gamers, though, more focused on word and puzzle
type games. However, that's clearly not all. New studies are showing
that as new games become
more character driven, instead of
kill-everything-driven,
women are
playing those games as well. As obvious as it seems, it appears
the trick to getting women to buy into video games wasn't to make
games for women, but to make games for everyone.

More Video Games Designed To Help The
Children
04/15/2005 04:49 AMWhatever happened to the days when
video
games were the root of all evil to be purged from polite society?
It seems like the video games are fighting back and trying to come
across as being... well... wholesome. First we had
video
games to make kids thin (and help save on health insurance), then
there were
video
games to teach kids about world hunger, and now comes a game
designed to
teach kids about how dangerous that
big internet really is. Using George Jetson (
George
Jetson?!?) and other pop-culture characters (um, from what
decade?), apparently the game is designed to teach these kids how to
"identify spam, delete viruses and identify suspicious people in chat
rooms." While these are definitely important lessons for kids to
learn, you have to wonder how much this game is actually going to
help. This sounds like the type of idea that an adult thinks a kid
will like, but the kids will wonder what those adults are thinking...
and go right back to writing their own viruses and sending out spam to
enhance their allowance money.
