It's still fantastic with a mouse too. My record is 17, but I think I can top that.

I guess what seems strange to me is that this particular incident is drawing so much ire, when we already have hugely popular games like GTA and Call of Duty (and I'm sure many more that I'm unaware of) that feature murder as a central element of the game play.

I don't contest that video games can have an effect on people and especially children, but this just seems so tame in comparison to what else is already out there.

As someone who doesn't play many video games, it seems crazy to me that anyone would find this humiliating.
