Video Game Censorship Articles (The Guardian)


·         The internet can't be censored and it's wrong for governments to try- "We're seeing another experiment in finding out if the internet can indeed be censored"

·         Calling on the audience to live the dream- "This remains true of the expanding sphere of participatory art, assuming we accept video games as art" 


·         Australian internet censorship - at last, the game version- "Censorship, the internet and the Australian government - that eternal threesome who never seem to tire of each other."


·         Modern Warfare 3: Tom Watson leaps to game's defence- "Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3, in which players engage in gratuitous acts of violence against members of the public"


·         The trouble with video games isn't the violence. It's that most of the characters are dicks- "It's a very popular franchise; devoted fans camp out on pavements for a launch copy, which makes it the royal wedding of violent video games."
