This associated press story reports that eight video game companies have asked a federal judge to dismiss the lawsuit being brought against them by relatives of victims of the Columbine massacre. The companies are Acclaim, Activision, Capcom, Eidos, Infogrames, Interplay, Nintendo and Sony, and they are making their case on the grounds that games are protected as free speech under the first amendment, and also that the lawsuit in question never actually names any games specifically.
