Drugs Added To Violence, Sex In Video Games - CUE JOMENTUM!!!

:eyes:

<snip>

In the newly-released "NARC" from Midway Games, you can be a good cop or a bad cop -- and use the drugs seized from dealers you arrest on the street.

A hit of crack makes your character a crack shot. Using speed lets him run really fast. A toke of marijuana slows things down to a slo-mo replay.

The maker said this is a first for video games. Critics said it's a desperate attempt to create "street cred."

One analyst told The New York Times you see violence in video games because it's "embraced in our culture." But he doesn't think "drugs are an appropriate thing."

Fair warning -- while using a little something improves your narcotics officer's performance, too much reliance on drugs gets him addicted.

"NARC" is for PlayStation 2 and Xbox and is rated M for ages 17 and older.

making a game out of the drug war just reinforces the drug war, and it's abuses.
