Writer and Journalist, Charlie Brooker produced this show a few years ago. If you would like to watch a one off TV programme about some history of gaming with some social commentary, You'll probably enjoy.

Not as good as his programmes about TV in general, but still good.

    Well, the problem with the media looking at Video Games is they focus on the exceptions rather than majority...

    All video games are violent? Yes, Commander Keen is extremely violent.

    Gamers go insane and go shoot people on the streets? If they did where's all the action, it looks perfectly peaceful out there on the streets...

    @Kaltzor: OMG! Commander Keen! I remember playing those games when I was young...I have been wondering for the correct spelling of the game's name, and you just gave it! Thank you so much! :D I also remember seeing my bro play Quake at some point, and even tho it was gory, I thought it was pretty cool for a shooter. And I agree, it just isn't true that games would turn people into murderers or psycho's...Most of those people who indeed go on the street killing people already had psychological/social problems to begin with. It's rarely the fault of games. Even though I think the producers of games like RapeLay should get into jail...

    That would be my guess. I mean, genius, you stole a car and actually care about driving nicely and paying the highway toll? GOOD LORD go guns blazing and raze the idiots with a bazooka!
