Fox News attack videogame ... 5 years too late

Silver Mirror | August 20, 2008 | News | PC Company Misc 
Fox news have attacked videogames on more than one occasion. If it's not blaming neglectful parenting its attacking non-existing frontal nudity. Guess what there latest blunder is? Now they are attacking the videogame American Army, this would be all well and good...but the game was released over 5 years ago.
I really don’t care about America’s Army. It’s a shitty game both in its free and commercial offerings. It used to be fun, and I have to admit I spent many an hour waiting silently for my next kill. I loved the cross-platform play between PC and Macs, but the game has been left in the dust by games like Call of Duty 4. There’s no keeping up for AA.

What I do care about is how horribly misinformed and uninformed these professional journalists are about the fastest growing and highest grossing form of entertainment in the world. At what point are news organizations going to catch on and stop assigning the guy who stands in hurricanes to talk about how the wind is blowing really hard, to cover a story about gaming?

America’s Army is OLD NEWS. VERY VERY OLD NEWS. There are probably kids that weren’t born when the game came out who are now playing it (you know there’s at least one out there)

    Dude, seriously! With the rabid following that is Watchmen fans. Fox in general should worry about someone blowing up their shit...much less attacking more things with large fanbases.

    The y aren’t talking about America’s Army, they’re talking about a new game, Virtual Army Experience. It’s under the America’s Army name, but it’s different. You’ll figure this out if you read when it said "First came the America’s Army Game"

    But Fox will report on anything that involves video games, especially if they can say it's ruining our wholesome peace-loving society (typed it with a straight face, too).
