Wow, the guy who wrote that Police Brutality piece is a nutjob

Can't say I enjoyed Morning's Wrath much. I don't understand the hype, the controls are utterly useless.

Heh, that Police Brutality game is neat. With all those new "non-leathal" weapons, police are more and more prone to resort to violence. Tazing or macing somebody instead of trying a reasonable approach shouldn't be an option. Unless of course if you want to create an opressive regime that's based on fear.

They tried a reasonable approach, it didn't work.

Anyone who didn't enjoy the "Don't Taze Me Bro" incident has a failed sense of humor. The right to free speech is not to right to be a disruptive fool, and I hope Police Brutality's author tries to cry less on the internet.

Instead of mentioning Jason Rohrer, why couldn't you mention someone with talent, one that makes FUN games? You know, fun? That thing that games were about to begin with? Anyway, on the subject of Police Brutality, both the game and the article, I agree with the previous Anonymous, but I would like to add that the game sucks.
