adam sessler stutters wayyy too much. but he had some good counter arguements. the other guy was ceo of gamedaily.com i dont know his name. the game that is getting jack all riled up is bully, from rockstar, and it IS going to be released. it was stated that the game involves no blood, or death of any enemy. so i dont get what hes bitching about... its takes place in a private school anyways...

Bear in mind that we are talking about the same company that recently released "Rockstars Table Tennis" which only stirred controversy due to the fact it was NOT offensive in any way, and also proved that they could make a solid, fun game NOT using "sin" as a primary selling point ( ... )
