Halo 2 - a tool for Freedom Fighters?
This is a new stance - according to James Pinkerton, of Newsday.com, Halo 2 (and games like it) serve a necessary purpose in our society - they 'hone the killer instinct', and 'prep the next generation to do the hard work of freedom'. Whoa. There's already a lively discussion on our forum - please try and keep this politics-free. (A lot of the criticism seems to be taking the argument that console controllers don't translate to real-world skills - but I think Pinkerton's point was that it's the ATTITUDES that are being sharpened, not the actual mechanical skills.) Thanks, Raneb. (Louis Wu 15:00:54 UTC)
