National Institute on Media and the Family 'unveils' the world's most deadly games...
Though it's probably a little too late for the Christmas spending frenzy that's already in full swing.
The list has been designed to help parents decide what games are appropriate for their children, just in case they can't see the massive 'M For Mature' rating on the box.
"There's an endless stream of new games that will never be suitable for children," said Rep. Betty McCollum. That's because adults like games too.
Square Enix launches Final Fantasy X 25th anniversary site, revealing new Nomura art, books, music releases, and merchandise.
Look I know VIII has its issues and all that but how on earth can the do big anniversary events with new artwork and merchandise for VII, IX and X yet VIII got sweet f*** all.
They could have given it something during its 25th anniversary yet all it got was a single Happy Anniversary post on their social media.
they should know that we are OG fans of VIII as it sold truckload as well. not as much as VII or X. I personally didn't like IX but X and VI are my personal fav.
Shadow Hearts 2 covenant is another game I love. I hope one day someone can make remake, I would be delighted
Final Fantasy VIII is great and you are always the first to defend it in the comments
LucasArts gave Jango Fett his own game in 2002, and it pulled Star Wars into a much dirtier, rougher, and more interesting corner of the galaxy.
The Wii is now a retro console. Let’s get nostalgic about an often maligned system.
Crazy to think the WII is to the Switch 2, as the NES was to the WII back then. 20 Year difference.
My wife asks me to bust it out (heh) everyone once in a while to play bowling and tennis with the kids. There was a ton of slop on it but some good stuff as well.
Wii was great but boy howdy did it cause Microsoft to go on a dark walk with the Kinect and the disastrous XBox One launch that they arguably never recovered from.
Not nostalgic for me.. I was there.. anyone who wasnt a little kid realized it was a gamecube with shit tacked onto it, it was the "joke" system and was well below even the switch in terms of comparing it to the latest machines at the time. The machine was well loved by young people and "casual gamers" who now remember it 20 years on, or in most cases more of its sales came in the 15-20 years ago range not right at launch- but again its not nostalgic for people who were "gamers" then really, just for those who ended up with one in their house, the games , graphics, interface and online features were archaic already in 2006.
"At a time of year when parents are looking for helpful guidance about video games, this year's report card does little more than sow unwarranted doubt about effective tools like ESRB ratings," said ESRB president Patricia Vance."
lol
ESRB is a joke, the system obviously doesn't work as intended.
A lot of parents don't know the meaning of the word responsibility.
Instead of working together, ESRB is criticizing the NIMF.
A much better and up to date list. The previous one was really prehistoric and showed how ignorant these so called caring groups are.
Funny how they forgot to put BioShock yet used COD4 which is really not that violent and anti social.
lol, this list is mostly consisted of my fave 2007 games.
nothing wrong with any of these games, kids have to grow up sometime
always funny 2 see these retards trying to help out parents .. haha yea -.- cuz you have 2 be a bit retardet to not se the big "M" .. ofmg .. Agree with Zhuk.. these ppl need 2 stfu .. all the greatest games r violent .. (Not cause im a lun ;P dont worry ppl) .. i just dont get 2 the egde of my set playing Mario
The only 2 titles deserved of a ban are Manhunt 2 and Jericho. Assasins Creed and COD4 should definitely not be included on the list.
Why not include Mario Galaxy onto the list!? Exactly.
