I know we all enjoy video games, obviously!! I realize everyone in this site is over 25 years old, so typically the laws that politicians are trying to pass do not pertain to us as a group. But as we've seen before with our government, you give them an inch they'll take a mile. So at first it might just be trying to protect our "innocent youth " from such violent games as GOW, HAlo, Bio SHock(which looks amazing) and the list goes on. But then the next step will be to limit content and then so on and so on. This has already happened in several other countries.
