British MP Keith Vaz has chosen to welcome the recent Byron Report which claims that games are not the problem and shouldn't be given such negative treatment. Vaz (right), however, still chooses to link the death of a 14 year-old back in 2004 to Rockstar's Manhunt game, totally despite the fact that the game was already determined to have not been a factor in the case.

This is still somewhat confusing to me, though. Why would an anti-video game activist like Keith Vaz welcome something that claims that games aren't the problem yet still try to link something that happened four years ago back to video games? Do we have a British version of Jack Thompson on our hands here?

“Mr Vaz called for this game and its follow-up Manhunt 2 to be banned based on compelling evidence that such games had a direct impact on the actions of this man.”
