Don't let the violence of factions get in the way of true justice. We aren't the Parisian mob. Just because a certain game doesn't appeal to a group of people doesn't mean it shouldn't be allowed to be made. If only groups could understand they aren't the only ones then things would be fine. Don't buy your kids or family this game if it's not something you want. No one is saying get it. If kids under 17 have this game, then shame on you.

They must be really bored

I know what game all the 10 to 12 year old boys are going to be wanting this Christmas!

I remember two incidents when I was at Wal~Mart. In the first incident I remember, it was like all these parents whose kids had asked them to buy them Halo 2 and GTA: SA for Christmas in 2004 and they were milling around the videogame case like they were obligated to buy their kids the games, but you know if any of their kids had gone crazy and offed somebody, the parents would have blamed it on the game and gotten lawyers to sue the developers instead of looking at themselves for being the kinds of parents that want to do anything to please their kids to get them out of their hair, and I wrote to Jack Trenton and told him bad parents were to blame for these incidents he wanted to take the videogame industry to task for, and then I wrote to him a bit later and my email bounced and it said receiver doesn't like you.

Then a couple of years later I was in Wal~Mart waiting to get my check cashed and there was a father and a son in there. And the son was no older than 10 in my estimation and he was trying to exchange an e game that he had for GTA: Vice City Stories on PSP and the clerk was trying to tell the father that the GTA games weren't really for kids, but the boy was like, "Oh that is the other GTA games." And the father just had a real jock / redneck air about him and his body language seemed to be saying, "Go ahead, contradict my kid, and if you do, then I'm going to whail on you. So, the 9 year old got his copy of GTA: Vice City Stories and he probably enacts torment upon all the weaker kids in his class at recess, but again that's not the game's fault, but the fault of the fact that anger management issues and belligerence seem to be inherited traits in that family imo..

On the question of has anybody ever heard of this group NIMF before, I actually think they are a fairly influential organization and that they do syndicated spots on radio and tv putting forth their ultra religious, right wing message everyday. I think the program Focus on the Family is theirs.

 EDIT:  I looked it up and NIMF and Focus on the Family with Dr. James Dobson don't seem to be related although they do seem to have similar agenda and views on what America and its citizens should be which is probably threatened anytime someone disagrees with their largely outmoded viewpoints.

.... Who cares they will always release Mature games and always release family games.

ex-friggin-actly...........people act like they or their kids are being made to play it

Right here.

NIMF is one of the bigger thorns in the side of the video game industry's public reputation. You hear a lot about them if you regularly read GamePolitics.

I really hope madworld sells at least a mill. This is good publicity.

these groups of ppl make me mad, because their so blatanly stupid in thinking ppl these days dont know what a "m" rated game is and allowing "m"rated games on the wii is a way for the wii to expand its reach over more hardcore ppl.

Who cares for the family and that, release more violent games!!!!!

This is ridiculous. Yeah they do make games for the whole family, and this would be one of them, but they didn't even make it.

Oh well it is good that its getting attention.
