I'm not saying they should be banned, but I refuse to buy them, rent them, or otherwise support them based on what I have seen and read about them.Grand Theft Auto series seems little more than glamourizing crime. Beating up hookers? Stealing cars? Assaulting police? All with photo-realistic graphics. You can bet when law-makers look for a game to villanize, this one will be at the top of the list.Now, there are some games that are violent, but I love. HALO-2 for example. Deus-Ex is another.But, some people, mostly those that are mentally deficient or lack real parenting, seem to take video games too far. I actually had a nephew (who has serious problems that I won't bring up) thinks he's a G-Homey (he's white, BTW) because he plays GTA: Vice City and GTA: San Andreas. He's let those games affect his perception of the world he lives in.Of course, he literally lives in his mom's basement and is 23 years old, has never had a job, and is what I kindly refer to as: "Living afterbirth kept after the baby was mistakenly thrown out."HE is the type of person that this law champions and seeks to protect, not your average person who actually deserves protection from something that would harm them.Of course, some video game companies aren't helping with the quest to put out more and more violent games with better and better splatter effects.And morons like my nephew should have been drowned at birth and my sister should have sold the milk.</blockquote>
