So what is your solution?? You think some of these games should be banned???

It really is it's moot point anyway, the Supreme Court ruled in 2011 in "Brown Vs. Entertainment Merchants Association" that Video Games (violent or otherwise) were protected by the first amendment the same as books, art or any other media and therefore could not be regulated by either the state or the federal government. (the case involved California trying to ban the sale of certain violent video games).

I went to the Redbox last night and noticed how many games they are now renting. All of these games had a common theme how to kill people in different ways. Does anyone think this is good for the mind and soul? Spending hour after hour in a virtual world killing and maiming...anyone?
