Wikipedia Xbox Stuff
"Part of a series on censorship"
We have tons of stuff here completely unrelated to censorship, and stuff I wouldn't even consider "controversy".
3.4 Criticisms of the gameplay in and of itself 3.5 Uninteresting and uncreative games
Should be removed, or possibly moved to another article.
Regarding the topic about video games not having stories, I think that there should at least be a reference to a third point of view, which shows that numerous video games have complex plots like: Metroid Prime, Halo, the recent Zelda games, and Chrono Trigger.
About canada (and french speaking quebec) video game ratings
I was the one who editted the canada part of the article because I wanted to point out the french speaking province of quebec does use the ESRB ratings system while they uses a different movies rating system than the rest of canada. this doesn't keep movies from having the canadian rating system on dvd and vhs boxes, which is why the quebec movie rating system is a sticker on most movie boxes.
the list
Can we split the list off into its own article please? This article is already very long without it.--Shadowdrak 19:29, 1 July 2007 (UTC)

How is THAT controversial? I suggest deletion.

Almost complete lack of references in the lists at the end of the article
The lists of examples of controversial video games at the end of the article are almost entirely unreferenced. There are no citations provided to verify that any of these games generated significant controversy or what any controversy was specifically about. Note that I'm not saying the list is inaccurate - just that it's not living up to verifiability and reference standards.
I highly recommend going through the individual entries and either providing in-line citations to a source that can verify the individual controversy, and if no such citation exists for a particular game removing that game from the list as unverifiable information. That will not only clean up the references but also prune the lists to be more readable. Dugwiki 22:53, 24 July 2007 (UTC)
Needs balancing
This is far too anti-game biased.
Huge amounts of criticism are stated (often repeated) and given lots of depth and counter points, when there are any stated, are left as small segments.
At least now if I ever need some propaganda done for me Ill know who to call.
Turkmenistan
I recall reading somewhere that video games are banned in turkmenistan. Could somebody prove that this is true?--Fantastic fred 19:54, 12 September 2007 (UTC)
DSM-V Publication Date? 2011 or 2012
Depends on where you read. Some sources say late 2011. Others say 2012. Might as well leave the 2012 that the sourced article used. ZookieByTheSea 02:41, 28 September 2007 (UTC)
inaccurate and biased statements, this should be deleted and rewritten from scratch
This article is full on biased an inaccurate statements. I removed the phrase "Considering this game allows one to freely choose, it could also be noted that the game is similar to real life" that was talking about how Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas' ability to pick up hookers and kill them for your money back was a choice and compared it to how people would act in real life. This is clearly not so, not even close. I will continue to rm-rf these statements as I come across them and as they are written. This article is not neutral at all and I suggest that I be completely rewritten.
External Links
I'm writing on behalf of the Tufts University Child and Family Webguide to ask that our website be considered for an external link on this Wikipedia page. Our website is maintained and developed by a staff of evaluators who search the web for articles and sites that contain valuable information for children and their parents regarding various medical/developmental topics. This link leads to our "Video and Computer Games" page, which offers information on how violence in contemporary video games influences child development:

English problems
This article has too many English problems to mention.
Controversy?
This article needs to feature this in a significant manner. From Psychiatric Quarterly, Dec, 2007:
http://www.springerlink.com/content/66217176984x7477/
Results indicated that publication bias was a problem for studies of both aggressive behavior and visuospatial cognition. Once corrected for publication bias, studies of video game violence provided no support for the hypothesis that violent video game playing is associated with higher aggression. However playing violent video games remained related to higher visuospatial cognition (r x = 0.36).

Twisted Metal?
Since when was twisted metal black a controversial game? I don't remember anybody complaining about the violence or making a big deal about it. There is no source saying it was a controversial game in this article nor in the game's article and unless someone can show me a source proving it was controversial I think we should remove it from the list.Father Time89 (talk) 01:59, 13 December 2007 (UTC)
What about other controversies involving games.
There are a few other controversies other than violence, although this one is the most focused on. How about the "laziness" factor, or that game companies put out warnings about games being able to cause epileptic seizures in those that are photosensitive? Someone needs to point out the OTHER issues people have about gaming other than how violent they can be.

Speaking of synapses, another member of that panel discussion at Boulder was Dr. Leonard Shlain, chairman of laparoscopic surgery at California Pacific Medical Center, and an author whose book Art & Physics: Parallel Visions in Space, Time and Light makes you think that if anyone could understand "Silent Hill," he could. Dr. Shlain made the most interesting comment on the panel. He said they took some four and five year-olds and gave them video games and asked them to figure out how to play them without instructions. Then they watched their brain activity with real-time monitors. "At first, when they were figuring out the games," he said, "the whole brain lit up. But by the time they knew how to play the games, the brain went dark, except for one little point."

Brazil cinema shootings
This happened in São Paulo, November 3 of 1999 at the Morumbi Shopping. The movie going on was Fight Club. I had created an article about this, but it seems to have been deleted... The shooter is called Mateus da Costa Meira. It resulted in 3 dead and 4 wounded.-- NIC1138 (talk) 18:01, 4 February 2008 (UTC)
Sexism
The article should definitely mention another issue about video games, sexism. I'll throw some topics oth there with counterpoints, hopefully we can all have a discussion before adding a new section.
-
Women are often scantily clad.
- Men are occasionally scantily clad as well.
- Many women in the real world dress in similar ways.
-
Women are often stereotyped: damsel in distress, promiscuous, etc.
- Men are stereotyped as well: muscle-bound, sociopathic, etc.
- Several games demean women such as: The Guy Game, Rumble Roses, hentai games, etc.

Boothe
Has anyone else heard about this game Boothe? I did a google search and nothing came up.
War Games
What about games that decept war being controversial? I mean my mom was a bit nervous aabout letting my brother get Wario: Master of Disguise because it was War io, and she can't be the only oneEmma Hordika (talk) 21:35, 2 March 2008 (UTC)Emma Hordika
BULL!!!!
You cant allways blame video games, it could also be parents at fault. Parents use TV and VIDEO GAMES to "watch" there children. Parents just dont want to accept the fact that they may be responsable for the childs behavior!! Tell me what you think.

Cleanup
The templates at the top of this article show several unresolved issues. I think the proper course of action would be to start adding verifiable citations to any claims this article makes, then to apply fair treatment to any conflicting views.Oobydub

Achievements for beating each level without dying are hard, but not impossible. Bullet Witch: Bad game. Project Gotham Racing 3: You earn most of them just by playing the game and collecting cars. Blazing Angels: Earned by playing through the game, but it isn’t all that fun. Earth Defense Force 2017: Fun game, but can be difficult. Not worth it. Need for Speed Carbon: Weighted heavily towards online and the single player ones can be tough to get. On any given corner, your car will reach a certain speed where it will try to spin out. It takes a while to sim 30 years of franchise, though. Rockstar Table Tennis: Pretty easy to get most of the points, and a blast to play online. Tuning a few different areas will help this (more on that below), but changing your driving style will make the biggest difference.comWhat Makes a Game Good or Bad For Your Gamerscore?Good: Good games for improving your gamerscore reward you for playing through the game, performing specific in-game tasks, or accomplishing goals within Bad: Bad games for improving your gamerscore are ones that require a long term investment of time, topping online leaderboards, or feature a majority of online-only achievements. Where people struggle is with the rear-wheel-drive cars, which is particularly frustrating for many because that is what all of the really great cars in the game are. Not recommended if you don’t intend to play a lot. Rumble Roses XX: Achievements take forever to unlock and you’ll get tired of the game quickly. It does take a long time to really make something good, though, so you have to be patient and really take your time. Quake 4: Weighted heavily towards multiplayer. Lower the difficulty and extend the time to a full 48 minutes and you can get them all in one game. Sid Meier's Pirates!Pirates! is a go anywhere, do anything game set where you have the entire Caribbean to play around in. And antilock brakes and traction control can mean the difference between fun and frustration.6.: Weighted heavily towards multiplayer. Tip #5: Buy The Right UpgradesA lot of people just want to slap on every horsepower upgrade they can afford right off the bat when they get a new car, but this is a horribly bad idea and a large part of why they struggle with the handling of their cars. Very fun. Some achievements are for Xbox Live stuff, but most of the points are for single-player. Take your time. They give you a little extra motivation to play a game longer than you would have in the past in order to add a few
