A History Of Video Game Controversy

DOOManiac

<div class="IPBDescription">VERY interesting article on Gamespot.</div>There's a new article on gamespot called <a href='http://www.gamespot.com/features/6090892/index.html' target='_blank'>When Two Tribes Go to War: A History of Video Game Controversy</a>.

Its a very interesting, if long (like 20+ pages) read detailing the biggest contraversies of the gaming industry for the past 30 years. The most suprising ones are the fact that people have been proclaiming videogames as excessively violent since 1976, when there was a game where your pixel ran over another person's pixel, and it was gonna cause all our teenagers to go nuts with their driving. heh.

A very interesting read though

Dead or Alive volleyball isn't nearly as bad as that reviewer makes out.
