I don't know what proportion of people in this forum are from the UK; anyway in today's Uk newspaper the "Daily Mail", the front page headline is "Murder by playstation". I know this is a PC games forum, but the principle of the computer game is the same.
The summary of the article: 17 year old boy murders friend with claw hammer and knife. After this happens the parents discover said psychopath was "obessed" with the game "Manhunt".
The article then goes on to describe how the 17 year old was a general school failure, and how he hung around with gangs and did drugs, etc, etc. From the description of him and his character the article gives it also appears he was something of a sociopath who didn't relate to other people very well.
In spite of all the other factors that would make this boy more likely to kill someone, the finger is inevitably pointed at the computer game as responsible. There is even talk of launching corporate manslaughter charges against the makers and distributors of the game.
Now ain't that just typical.
