The title is taken from an article from the Globe and Mail (original title: How many war crimes have you comitted?). Writing about killing in Video Games is extremely rare and thinking about it even more so. Well let’s exclude the folks complaining about every GTA. The guys at TRIAL and Juventute make an LOH (“Love or Hate”) statement saying that Video Games could be more realistic by applying International Human Rights to War Games.
Maybe that’s a bit simplified but it’s a rainy Saturday afternoon and we need to have some fun. Love Or Hate.
- Realistic Tony Hawk’ skate games would remind you how much you suck at Skateboarding and why your mom wanted you to wear a helmet.
- Jumping on Turtles in Super Mario Bros is against what WWF stands for: wild life preservation and should make a sort of “Crrrrrsquiiiishzblooich” instead of “HPooohoop”. And no music.
- Playing Tetris is an insult to people who don’t have enough bricks to build houses.
- A corruption ratio should be included into Sim City.
- A Blue Hedgehog would be nature’s aberration and should be studied as a Medical Game instead.
- Fighters and Warriors would wear protective gear instead of Bikinis. No more girls in WOW or Fighting Games.
- Spending $60 to find some Legendary Sword made of older pixels doesn’t make sense really.
- Entering Samus Aran’s Ball mode could be very painful.
- Wipe Out wouldn’t exist.
