>> In the future, publishers will have to be more creative, making good games, and not simply relying on the latest graphics to sell a killing game. << eg) Rugrat, Devil Dice, fishing, bowling, Quest, Star War. Wrestling, Tekken, Shao Lin are okay but should careful on the graphic violence, avoid bloody scene like Mortal Combat. NO NO to South Park, Doom or anything about human killing human. Thanks Todd and Apak for the replies. aC

I saw that Sable (Rena Mero) is suing the WWF. She said some pretty negative stuff. I wonder if that can affect game sales? Especially after the death of Hart this week. Hopefully if there is a silver lining it is that this is not the big Christmas sales time and people may tend to reconsider by then. Roy

Todd. I agree. Kids have been imitating pro wrestlers for years (over 30 that I know of). The fact is nothing new. The scope and violence is new. When I was growing up, there weren't wrestlers hitting their opponent over the head with trash cans; there weren't the hard-core matches with ladders, tables, barbed wire, bamboo wiping sticks; there weren't females baring their breasts in the ring, there wasn't the kind of four letter language heard today (in and outside the ring); there weren't baseball bats swung every which way (except hitting an opponent); there weren't scenarios where the son plots and takes over "the corporation" from the father. The wrestling imitators today do do many of these things. There will be a back-lash at some point. That seems (to me) to be the American way. That's my opinion. As they say, "Opinions are like ........ -- everyone has one." With that said, I'm slithering back into lurker mode. Lest anyone think I'm trying to slam THQI, I'm not. I am long and do have a few shares, thought not many by comparison with most of you. I've been reading this since it was there were three Todds. I've been in and out of THQI since it was $10. Dwane
