Title: Games 'permit' virtual war crimes
Post by: Simon on November 23, 2009, 22:08
Video games depicting war have come under fire for flouting laws governing armed conflicts.

Human rights groups played various games to see if any broke humanitarian laws that govern what is a war crime.  The study condemned the games for violating laws by letting players kill civilians, torture captives and wantonly destroy homes and buildings.
