UK police have warrant cards; they don't need to ask for warrants.
People are so quick to limit the medium that they love. At least gaming in general passed the test.
I just don't get the point of this story. What I am understanding it to say is that gaming is trying to evolve as an artform, and yet games like this are holding it back, and thus it should never have been made.
Yet, you look at movies, or books, and that is what being an artform is all about. You cannot define art and to constrain this video game, no matter how ironic or ridiculously sincere it may be, to censor this game would be to thrust gaming back to the days of cry...
It's a nice read, but I had to do a double-take at "343 knocked it out of the park with Halo". Different strokes I suppose.
I think that EA did some good things this year, which they need to be recognized for.
HOWEVER, I think that it is an indictment of the company that these things still shouldn't prevent a nomination.
Not false advertising. 'Mere puff'. Statements made up to nine months ago do not qualify as part of the contract you signed when buying the game - at worst, it's a representation.
