Rated AO: Games, Ethics, and Censorship
This will be a whirl wind tour of changes in ethical thought and censorship. We will discuss top selling titles as well as several of the more obscure. This is not a presentation for the sensitive and some of the topics and graphics used should spur debate. We will discuss restrictive legislation as time permits. We will be talking about games such as "Grand Theft Auto", "Virtual Valery", "Super Columbine Massacre RPG", "Second Life", "Playboy: The Mansion" and more.
