Video games, much like comic books, rock and roll, and horror flicks, have been blamed for sullying children, inspiring violence, and contributing to the nation’s moral decay. It’s worth noting that, hysterical pundits aside, the latest studies suggest that violent video games aren’t harmful to most kids. That’s not to say that anything should go; even the most blasé gamers would probably agree that parents should monitor their kids’ gaming habits. Still, the violent video game debate has reached the heights of the Supreme Court where nine justices will decide in June 2011 if selling violent video games to minors should be deemed illegal.

Over the years, there have been, admittedly, several titles in the hobby’s relatively brief history that have pushed the boundaries of decency in some critics’ eyes. Epic Games’ upcoming Bulletstorm—a first person shooter that rewards players for insane gunplay—is the latest video game to come under fire for violent content, but it certainly isn’t the first.
