Glamorize murder and mayhem.... you get a more violent society. Now lets glamorize drug dealing and drug trafficking. Hmmmmm whats the logical conclusion....
And the Liberals wonder why this country is the way it is.....

Next think you know, there will be a game out there simulating pedophile stalking.
I'll leave it to your imaginations to come up with a sufficiently evocative title.

"I'm not sure this is such a step forward."
It's not. I used to play a game called Metal Gear solid. In that game a cigarette was smoked to use the smoke to find laser sensors. However during the time the character holds the cigarette his life points decrease. This is even worse because it doesn't even promote a realistic application of the drug. In reality it should cause the player to have a harder time.

Hmm IIRC, in the old NES game called Narc the marijuana could kill you.
To: billorites
I bet 1,000,000 copies of this game that this thread gets hijacked by the FR anti-drug law cotillion before post 45.

What ever happened to letting your kids play checkers, Operation and monopoly? Most video games are geared more towards adults then kids. It's been that way for quite awhile now.

Bad is relative... All that matters is that your 6YO has fun.

Still, kids seem to be the driving force behind the industry.

It's not the first though..
I recall playing a game called Fallout years ago where various drugs were used as powerups. They had negative effects though, the more you used them and you could even become addicted..
Still the setting was not "real world", it was set in a post nuclear war type setting.. radiation mutants and what-not.
