They are sooooo out of touch... I mean, wow, chainsaw kills, that's never been done before (said as sarcastically as possible).

At least they mentioned the ESRB in the article, so props to them for that.

I mean, do we get an article about how Hollywood is corrupting our youth whenever a new R rated film comes out?

Oh, and P.S. video games don't turn kids into killers. I love how the book attacks other studies that have made the opposite claim by suggesting that their methods were bad.

Gears 2 adds a reverse attack that actually slices an enemy in half -- from the groin upwards. Elsewhere in the demo, presenter Cliff Bleszinski, the celebrated lead designer behind the Gears and Unreal series, showed off a new ability that let him use the corpse of a fallen enemy as a "meat shield", soaking up bullets while he returned fire around its head.


Sweet. Now if they just get rid of the shitty over-the-shoulder camera view...
