I've been seeing glimpses of this on News stands, along with the typical 'ban games they're evil headlines'. Nothing at all to do with the enviroment the child is raised in, oh no... This type of thing goes back to when Doom was blamed for the Columbine (I think) killings - of course, Doom teaches people how to fire guns, and also gives them real guns too! Piffle...

They say any publicity is good publicity....

Manhunt, the video game which has been the focus of recent press attention, has re-entered the games chart at 23.

QUOTE

MCV has an article up with some follow-up to the recent stir caused by connections being drawn by some between a grisly murder and the video game Manhunt. According to the report, "The story of the 'Manhunt' murder case took another twist with the revelation that the game was present in the victims home, not the killer's." This may present a problem for those looking to turn this case to their own ends, though MCV's conclusion indicates that the facts in this case have not had that much impact up to this point:
As for the link between Manhunt and the crime, the police are clear. Pooni said: We havent connected the game with the murder and weve already made that statement, but some sections of the media chose to ignore itthe motive was robbery.
