i was a little surprised to see JFK Reloaded on there, that's actually the only game (aside from MW2) that i've played on that list and i didn't find it offensive at all. it seems like more of a tool to give a bit more scientific support towards the entire JFK shooting conspiracy theories. for those that haven't played it, the game basically wants you to recreate the shot(s) made by oswald on the day kennedy was shot. the point i got out of it is that it's near goddamned impossible to do it successfully. i think the closest i ever got was like a 65%, with 100% being a perfect re-creation. really makes you think about the whole "magic bullet" thing.

A lot of those games were just like internet flash games. A very unimpressive list.

I would just like to say that I find it impossible to be insulted by any of these. Not even remotely. For me personally I can't get offended by something I know is fake. Even if the people behind these games were attempting to push there beliefs onto others through the game I just can't make myself accept it realistically enough to become offended or anything. Also, why the hell was Bonetown put on that list? All the others I can understand why the average person would fit them onto that list because they deal with things that in real life are mostly considered to be wrongful acts (Rape, mass murder, torture, etc...). But Bonetown is just about sex. Not rape or anything like that. Just regular sex. Why is it considered so offensive? Are modern day people really that touchy about sex (An everyday act that is required in order to keep the human race alive - though sometimes I doubt that's really a worthy cause) that they have to consider it just as insulting as all the aforementioned acts of violence?
I feel old when talking to anyone my age yet too inexperienced to effectively talk to anyone older. Life is grand that way.

Hahaha, I read about that game before I joined (maybe early August). I feel really bad for any diabetic kid that had to play that.
