Playing Dead

Dear Future Gamer,

I've just read your news 'nibble' about the kid who shot his brother while fighting over a Nintendo. Did you notice anything strange about that sentence? ("Erm... no, sorry"). The console's name was a Nintendo! ("Oh, right!"). Not PlayStation or a Sega. This makes Nintendo's policy against censoring games for their system a little bit pointless. So if people do use this as a case against violence in games, they're contradicting themselves, because Nintendo are (were?) against graphic violence in videogames.

FG: There has never been a console just named 'Sega'. As for violence in games, isn't GoldenEye the most 'realistically' violent game ever? Sorry, we're still trying to work out what point you're making here...

Got an opinion or a question? Write to me at andy.smith@futurenet.co.uk...
