Games such as Manhunt are violent and brutal, but if this is the case, why aren't films such as Hostel and Hostel 2 being banned as well?

So be it, the user has control over their actions in these games but this isn't to say it influences any actions they make in their own life.

It should be rated accordingly (18 I assume), and it should be the job of parents to ensure noone under the age of 18 plays this game.

If any person is mental enough to play a game and think it is ok to replicate what they see on screen in real life, then they are mental enough to commit a crime regardless of the games they play. This is spoiling the fun of innocent gamers.

Right, I'm off to dress up like a lemming and walk off a cliff.

That's before you take into consideration films such as Saw, Hostel and Cube. In my view gaming is an entertainment medium that is unfairly treated in the media. Manhunt 2 is not even a game which contains photorealsitic graphics.

Surely an 16 year old in the army or an 18 year old police man will see worse than in real life than is portrayed in this game.
