The case aginst 'Manhunt'

OK...I'd like to point out a few things here, since this one is all over the English news. It's the first time there's been evidence of a game, even the poor evidence they have, affecting a child.

First, the killer was about 17 when he was tried. I'm not sure if he didn't do the whole killing bit when 16. His friend who he killed was 14...and the one who actually owned the game. The boys mother who is blaiming the game is also the one who bought him it, and allowed both boys to play it in her home.

Three large computer shops, plus GAME (the UK's version of Electronic Boutique) have pulled the game. I've seen GTA and every other violent game around, however. Just Manhunt has been pulled.
