Re: Is killing aliens in video games really OK?

In Response To: Is killing aliens in video games really OK? (MovieMaker5087) : I was reading Frankie's latest Halo 2 weekly update (the one wear he goes to : Europe) and I found the part interesting when the two Brits were OK about : killing off a thousand Covenant soldiers, with all the blood and gore and : such, as long as they weren't humen. Well, has anyone ever thought of this : before? First, let me say that my mother and sister-in-law appose violence : in video games, but they say that "killing aliens is OK". Well, : what if, somewhere out in the far regions of space, some advance speices : of aliens (say like the Covenant) somehow manage to see a demo of Halo, : and take notice that we're killing them off. What if they got angry and : came and rose hell of Earth cuz of it? Or what if aliens decided to live : on Earth? Then how would we get away with it? : "In your video game, do you kill any species belonging to the Zorgon : race?" : "Why, yes! You can destroy thousands of them in one shot and splatter : blood and such everywhere!" : "Well, we're gonna have to ban your game due to the fact some things... : I mean people might get a tad offended by the mass alien carnage..." : I could hear my mom and sis-in-law now: "Turn that game off! It's far : too violent! You know your cousin Aafwearojfd is from Zorgon and he would : find that very offensive! But it's OK as long as your killing something : other than that..." : Has anyone else ever thought of such a thing before? What do you guys think : about this? I mean, you never know... hmmm...ok, they're absolutely correct. sooo, what do we play now? whatever the women are feeding ya, don't go for it. they're aliens, and just want yer xbox...RUN !!! ;)
