Shock, Anger Over Columbine Video Game

Not sure if this has been posted here. Fairly sick. I wouldnt download it at all.

What do people think?

Just goes to show you , some people have a neck like a jockeys you know what

DonkeyStyle \o/

A deliberate attempt to be controversial... better off ignoring it tbh.
I doubt I'd ever have heard of that game if not for the media attention... way to score an own-goal IMO :rolleyes:

petes

Thats bloody sick!!

Sarky

Interesting reading. I can appreciate the reasoning behind it.

CombatCow

Gives "gaming" a bad name tbh :S

It's in bad taste, tbh.

It glorifies the two sadistic p*****, that carried out the incident.

The graphics are crap, they should have done a first-person shooter.

Ruu_Old

Fairly sad alright. Dont give it any attention.

Dave!

ahh, I knew when I saw the title that it would just be a sh*tty little game like that... I wouldn't download it. Mainly cos it looks sh*t.

I plan on downloading it when i get back from work.
Not out of a twisted thrill you understand, but so i can at least have a look at it before i make up my mind.

As sarky said the creator has an interesting reason for creating it, and apparently it's impossible to 'win', which i think shows a little more inteligence on the creators part than a simple game with limited shock value.

Pretty sick, all right. There's always someone out there who will push the envelope on events like Columbine. It's like those jokes that do the rounds after some significant tragic event. I doubt this kid had any cruel intentions, it was controversial, had people's interest spiked, just his personal drama, I guess.

Top down RPG's....hate them!

If they had done something like Postal then I might download it.

I think the idea of it being impossible to "win" is brilliant, the creator didn't glorify anything, he merely highlighted the fact that it was so pointless.

There is a Colombine map for CS. Doubt it was ever ported for CS:S.

Didnt know that.

But is there a difference. A CS map is a lot different than a standalone game.

If the game was made to make money then I think its done in bad taste. If its done to show the pointlessness of what happened then I think its a good thing. I've only read the article so I cant really make a decision on that one.

but its just a history lesson, like that JFK: Reloaded :rolleyes:

Wow, RPG maker!
Interesting reading.

I highly doubt anyone is really shocked. I'm not. This is typical internet crap.

No, whats really in bad taste is someone that makes an opinion without even bothering to read the damn article.

Nobody could Zuma, you need the multiplayer patch where your mate stands on the grassy knoll and one in the sewer grate....

Have none of you lot played Ethnic Cleansing ?


Ethnic Cleansing is a violently racist computer game developed by Resistance Records, an underground music label specializing in Neo-Nazi and white supremacist bands. In the game, the protagonist (the player can choose either a skinhead or a Klansman) runs through a ghetto murdering black people, before descending into a subway system to murder Jews. Finally he reaches the "Jewish Control Center", where Ariel Sharon, Prime Minister of Israel, is directing plans for world domination. The player must kill Sharon to win the game.

I love the way it's ok to murder/rape/pillage or whatever in a game (gta series i'm looking at you) as there are no actual real names/events used but because it's uses somethign that actual happened it's suddenly digusting.

I don't see the connection you are trying to make, by the creators own admission this game does not seek to glorify the actions of Harris and Klebold, where as ethinic cleansing is there to glorify the notion of wiping out the black and jewish people.
