If you ask me, a psychopathic murderer having a copy of Manhunt is no different to me (a golfer) having a copy of Tiger Woods 2004. Point being if he was unbalanced enough to enjoy battering someone in real life, i'm guessing he might enjoy doing it in a game aswell.
I didn't see the news story but I just checked BBC news page and they have a piece on it.
The boy was 17 and the game has a 18 certificate, at 17 years old he knew what he was doing was wrong, it's not the games fault he was obviously pretty unstable in the first place, you aren't a normal well ajusted kid at 16/17 then start playing a video game and one day think to yourself hmmmm I'm a bit bored with this game now I think I'll go out and kill someone for real.
like any other murder in history. it uses guns! ban every single game to contain guns. guns kill people, in CoD you kill people. therfore CoD is influencing people to shoot others.
Manhunt is a particularly brutal game, but I saw the ITV news segment and I was disgusted. I particularly liked the bit underneath the picture of the game just as they started talking about it "EVIL GAME".
There have always been murderers etc on this world, now we have games/movies, some of these fucked up people play/watch them, then ofc that means the games are evil and force people into murdering!
There's hardly a house in this entire area without at least one broken/boarded up window... one of the worst council estates in Britain. Not that that would in anyway infact the inhabitants I'm sure
