Violent Video Games Facing New Scrutiny is another New York Times article (from today's Sunday edition) that focuses on violence in video games, specifically talking about Quake II (though obviously mistaking the blaster for the hyperblaster in one segment where they describe a player's affection for the blaster saying "It can just split people in half."). The article discusses the effectiveness of software ratings (skeptically), and discusses the possible impact of violent games on young children. Thanks Luka (speaking of children and violence).
