OK. Now I will usually avoid weighing in on politics and things of that nature here on a blog that is supposed to be for video game reviews. So here we go.
Today I saw that President Obama has advised the CDC to look into video game violence and whether or not it contributes to violent acts. Now I'm no expert but I'm a gamer and I have been since the days of yore on the Sega Genesis. I'm not a really violent person; in fact I'm pretty laid back most of the time. Based on a few of the things I saw in the obligatory comments section at the end of the article many of gamers disagree with the move. I don't agree with it but I fear what may come of the study should they find a correlation. Even if video games are found to make children violent the responsibility to ensure that the children aren't raised by them lies with the parents or guardians. All video games are clearly marked with their rating and I think in all of my reviews that will follow this will mention the rating of the game I'm talking about.
Well that's it for Hambone's one and only take on politics. Good Gaming everyone.
Hambone out
