The enlish division of Dixons has taken Manhunt out of their shops after the murder of 14-year old Stefan Pakeerah. According to his parents the killer ,17-year old Warren Le Blanc, was influenced by playing Manhunt. Warren beaten Stefan down with a hammer and finished it of with a knife.

After the parents reaction Dixons immediately took Manhunt out of their shops. Manhunt is not allowed to be sold to minors. No reaction yet confirmed from Rockstar games.

Typical.
Anything could've triggered that reaction in a nutter! If he'd been a Tarantino nut & shot someone, d'ya think they'd try to ban sales of Reservoir Dogs?
Thing is, video games are an easy target, unlike movie production companies & Hollywood in general.

Also, if Rockstar didn't make a game so violant like that....someone else would have made it!!!

Also, what about GTA, thats just as bad (evnthough I wouldn't like to see that getting banned!!)

It was in the news this they were arguing about games such as Gta,Max Payne, but shops such as woolworths currys will still carry on to sell Manhunt

Its all a complete and utter joke, I have been playing video games for the past 6 years, and you dont see me going about killing people..

Its not the video games fault, obviously the guy must be a nut case, if they ban video games they need to ban films, as they are alot worse than video games..

The guy shouldnt even have the game if he was only 17, his mum probably bought it for him.

Pfft - you obviously havn't played Manhunt

Either that or you stuck to the White target kill types and didn't go all the way to "Gruesome" :D

But anyway yeh it's bollocks agree totally with svb the gaming industry is an easy target.

If he'd been a Tarantino nut & shot someone, d'ya think they'd try to ban sales of Reservoir Dogs?

It's funny you say that an American man tied another man up in his garage and cut off his ear before dousing him with petrol and killing him - yet Resevoir Dogs is still in the shops wherever you go :confused:

Is anybody familiar with the band pitchshifter? they have a song called 'as seen on tv' which is about stuff like this where people/games get targetted because they've been associated with murders etc.
