Providing some wonderfully succinct summaries of the accused games' content, the list highlights the titles most likely to turn younger gamers to a life of crime.

Speaking to the Detroit News about the extreme content of some of today's biggest selling games and franchises, Worthy said, "There is no way that anyone can convince me that the horribleness and gruesomeness of the crimes that we've been seeing is not somehow a result, at least in part, of the violent video game culture."
Choice #1 in the list isn't surprising..The list is as follows:

Warning, this is a spoiler!
1. Grand Theft Auto
"Allows to players to act out crimes and rewards players for doing so."

2. Manhunt
"Revolves around the making of a snuff film."

3. Scarface
"Involves buying and selling drugs and killing hundreds of people."

4. 50 Cent: Bulletproof
"Rapper 50 cent is involved in a web of corruption, double crosses and shady deals that lead him on a bloody path through New York's drug underworld."

5. 300: The Video Game
"Invites game room gladiators to slice their way through the Persian army."

6. The Godfather
"Opens with a 'child's version' of the player witnessing the murder of his father."

7. Killer-7
"Experienced adult gamers call this the most violent and twisted game ever played."

8. Resident Evil 4
"Shoot outs involving massive crowds of enemies in large open areas. A typical play-through can result in the killing of up to 900 enemies."

9. God of War
"A sea of unrelenting violence"

10. Hitman: Blood Money
"Self-proclaimed 'most violent' game of a series. This game glamorizes killing."

Re: US Prosecutor Unveils List of Games to Avoid This Christmas.

people are so stupid. They do not understand that these games only affect people who already have an unstable mindset. The reason all of us aren't going out and running over a prostitue with a Viper, or shooting a man-beast in the face with a Needler is because we have are smart enough to know not to do it. Yes, kids under 14 should not play these games, cause they are more impressionable. But kids over said age know what they are doing, and what they want to do. As Psychopat said... Games Don't Kill People, People with Psychological issues kill people.

You know most serial killers were poor and couldn't afford violent games, they were just social outcasts.
