Police Officers Plea Against 25 to Life: when cops

Police officers and government officials across the nation have rallied an impressive, yet unfortunate call to arms to criticize and ban the mediocre thug dud 25 to Life. Despite critical panning, the game that pits players as either gangsters or police fighting out a customizing gang war was a top seller in January 2006 and remains a top rental. On the heels of video game laws and cries for Under 18 legislation preventing sales of mature content to minors comes a more passive, yet impassioned plea: don't buy this game. The Daily Press aptly titled their March 24th article covering the issue "Public Enemy No. 1". This is just a quick report to illustrate the hysteria that set a reputation rolling in the games industry that only ripens the fringes of the First Amendment for prompt picking by counter action. So get off of your couches gamers! Put down the wireless controllers and get pollitically connected. Game politics.org is a great place to start, as is the Video Game Voters Network.
