Stupid title for another good piece defending games. Clearly I can’t get enough of articles like this. Few such articles mention one fact that stands out to me though - half of the problem is how little these critics understand games.

Have they played them? No, at best they gripped a controller then gave up minutes later after spending the whole time staring at the virtual ceiling. They see them as nothing but high tech toys for kids, therefore sex and violence are clearly out of place and corrupting our youth. The rating system isn’t broken, they’re simply using the latest controversy to push start another meritless band waggon to further their own political/financial ends. (via del.icio.us)
