Since some people can’t stop ragging on violence in video games as the biggest problem with our youth today, a US Prosecutor has unveiled her list of the ten games all parents should avoid buying this holiday season with rather amusing results. Kym Worthy has insisted that the violence in our society is symptomatic of the violent video game culture. Here’s the full (laughable) list with her comments and mine.

1. Grand Theft Auto
“Allows to players to act out crimes and rewards players for doing so.”  Hmm, can you even find the original GTA for sale anywhere these days? Not so much to worry about then.
2. Manhunt
“Revolves around the making of a snuff film.” This is about as accurate a description as saying Gone With The Wind was a film about the south.

3. Scarface
“Involves buying and selling drugs and killing hundreds of people.” Hmm. Yeah, I guess she’s pretty on with this one.
4. 50 Cent: Bulletproof
“Rapper 50 cent is involved in a web of corruption, double crosses and shady deals that lead him on a bloody path through New York’s drug underworld.”  Yes, be sure to instead buy your children some of his albums. Much safer.  That and you know your kids would love  bad  games from two years ago.
5. 300: The Video Game
“Invites game room gladiators to slice their way through the Persian army.” Another relatively crappy game that won’t likely affect your children because they won’t want to play it that long.

6. The Godfather
“Opens with a ‘child’s version’ of the player witnessing the murder of his father.” Seriously, does this woman realize how old some of these games are?

7. Killer-7
“Experienced adult gamers call this the most violent and twisted game ever played.” And I say this woman is a soap-box hogging idiot. Does that make it true? Be sure to buy your kids this two year old gamecube game.

8. Resident Evil 4
“Shoot outs involving massive crowds of enemies in large open areas. A typical play-through can result in the killing of up to 900 enemies.” Seriously, if we’re talking sheer body count why didn’t she tack one of the Dynasty Warriors games on the list. I’ve killed over a thousand enemies on one battle alone.

9. God of War
“A sea of unrelenting violence” Totally true. However the game is rated M for mature, so if you buy this for your kids and then they kill off an ancient Greek deity you only have yourself to blame.

10. Hitman: Blood Money
“Self-proclaimed ‘most violent’ game of a series. This game glamorizes killing.” So do craploads of violent movies, why don’t people protest that anymore?
