GameZone writes, "Violence in video games is on ongoing debate among the media, with most traditional outlets *ahem* Fox News playing the typical role of villain. Like most views from the conservative news station, Fox tends to stick with the belief that video games are causing the alleged increase in youth violence, not the actual guns. Fed up with the one-sided views, Video Game Voters Network is launching a campaign against such biased coverage and outlooks."

14 years is a long time for a series to lie dormant, but there must be something in the air this year with both Rise of the Triad and Shadow Warrior getting rebuilt from scratch.

How many times have you played an Uncharted, watched Nathan Drake murder his 1000th man, make some jokey quip and think this guys a sociopath.

GamesRadar - Violence and suggestive content do not a good game make. Few games demonstrate this as profoundly as Thrill Kill, the unreleased PS1 brawler that EA quashed right before release.
