The mother of a friend of mine read an article in their local paper (you've never heard of it), and it was talking about the "recent increase in childhood violence possibly being related to videogames".
First of all, that argument is about a decade old. Secondly, I'd blame the gnarly web-content, like 2g1c, over videogames any day. Thirdly, at least your kid isn't selling meth... or maybe they are ... but it would have nothing to do with videogames.
So ... I decided to toss around the idea of a game that focused on ANTI-VIOLENCE! Funnily enough ... there still turned about be bloodshed ... but nothing gorier than scenes you'd find in a bible.
I'll be uploading the video to NG once Robot day/week is over ... as it's not really with the theme. No point muddling up the celebration :D
In the meantime, it can be viewed here:

hah, we're not alone ... and I'm certainly not the only one ... but I thought it would be fun to have a piece dedicated to the issue.
