Once again, Jack Thompson continues his vow to block "violent" video games that he deems to be offensive to the public and corrupts children. What's the game this time? Halo 3. And it's only days away from release. He plans to convince a Florida court that Halo 3 is a "public nuisance" and to have it blocked from being released in Florida.

With the video game event of the year - the Halo 3 launch - just days away, game-hatin’ attorney Jack Thompson is apparently seeking to re-create one of his greatest non-triumphs.

Although he failed miserably with a similar bid against Rockstar’s Bully in 2006, Thompson hopes to have a Florida court declare Halo 3 a public nuisance. He promised as much late last year (see: Jack Thompson Vows More Public Nuisance Suits Against Games in 2007).

No surprise, really, that Halo 3 is in the media-hungry attorney’s crosshairs. Thompson seems to prefer rattling his saber when high-profile game releases are involved. In his latest attention grab Thompson has released the text of what appears to be a court filing in the 11th Circuit, the same jurisdiction in which he failed embarrassingly during last year’s Bully case.

Once again, Thompson is basing his claim on a Florida statute which defines public nuisances as that which:

…tend[s] to annoy the community, injure the health of the citizens in general, or corrupt the public morals
