Added: 20.03.2013 11:22 | 6 views | 0 comments


Gary A. Swaby of The Koalition writes: On this week's episode of The Co-op we were joined by both Anthony Frasier and Carl Daniel (the mute). We talked extensively about Sony Santa Monica's decision to rename the God of War: Ascension trophy "Bros before Hoes" due to Adam Sessler kicking up a fuss. In my opinion the trophy was within context to the events in the game, and there's no way it could have been offensive especially because the female character didn't actually die. But perhaps you may disagree? If so then have your say below. Also on this podcast we share our thoughts on Tomb Raider, breaking down our likes and dislikes. We speak on Saint's Row IV and what we want from the game. How much will they push the limits of slapstick over the top humor this time? Will Deep Silver taking ownership over the series change it in any way? And we also reflect on EA's catastrophe with the launch of Sim City, what are our thoughts on DRM? Interestingly Carl Daniel gives Anthony Frasier...

Industry must lessen the 'obscene levels of violence' in games, says US Senator

Policymaker says it is "unrealistic" that parents can prevent children from viewing inappropriate content in media-soaked culture.

Responding to a recent report that the Sandy Hook shooter was a , United States senator Jay Rockefeller (D-WV) said the industry must tone down the "obscene levels of violence" in games today.

As reported by the , Rockefeller said this week it is "unrealistic" to think parents can control the content their children see and hear in the modern, media-soaked culture.

"In today#149;s world, where kids can access content across a variety of devices often without parental supervision, it is unrealistic to assume that overworked and stressed parents can prevent their kids from viewing inappropriate content," Rockefeller said.

"The only real solution is for the entertainment industry to reduce the often obscene levels of violence in the products they sell," he added.

The New York Daily News on Monday published a report claiming the Sandy Hook shooter had a spreadsheet detailing the names and number of people killed and the weapons used in past mass shootings. It was described as a "score sheet" because the shooter was reportedly attempting to "out score" past attackers.

"This was the work of a video gamer, and that it was his intent to put his own name at the very top of that list," a source said. "[The Connecticut State Police] believe that he picked an elementary school because he felt it was a point of least resistance, where he could rack up the greatest number of kills."

Rockefeller is currently sponsoring the Violent Content Research Act of 2013, which directs the Federal Trade Commission (FTC), the Federal Communications Commission (FCC), and the Department of Health and Human Services (HSS) to jointly call on the National Academy of Sciences to conduct a comprehensive study into the relationship between exposure to violence games--and other programming--and harmful effects on children.

Rockefeller argues that current and emerging characteristics of games have a unique impact on children due to their interactive nature. The bill has five co-sponsors, including Richard Blumenthal (D-CT), Tom Coburn (R-OK), Dean Heller (R-NV), Mike Johanns (R-NE), and Amy Klobuchar (D-MN).

God of War Ascension Review | The Controller Online

Adam from The Controller Online writes: "In the seventh installment of the God of War series, Santa Monica Studio brings up another offering of the Spartan Kratos, and Greek mythology, to the gods. Usually a series is pretty burned out by the fifth entry, so how does GoW: Ascension fair with the gods and the gamers?"

God of War: Ascension | Review (Only Single Player)

Added: 19.03.2013 1:18 | 12 views | 0 comments


"When you have a series like God of War, one that built its name on massive scale, fluid pacing and an extremely refined combat system, its tough to figure out where exactly it can go from there, especially since it has already become a fully formed trilogy with all loose ends seemingly tied up. What exactly could another game in the franchise add or expand upon when it comes to the already solid framework? Well, how about the pale-skinned brutish antihero himself, Kratos? Thats what Santa Monica had in mind when crafting God of War: Ascension, a prequel that aims to explore the character of Kratos and delve into his psychology and motivations during the most important and tragic time of his origin. Did they pull it off and make a game that truly ascends, or are you better off stripping down to your boxers, painting yourself red and white, and running around town screaming to get your GoW fix? Were about to find out." (Michael Urban, OnlySP.com)
