I am in Hawaii enjoying a much needed vacation with my daughter and husband when on came the show X-Play, a show that critiques video games. It all seemed pretty normal, when out of the blue they show this teenager putting a gun in his mouth and blowing out the back of his head. The show boasts a humorous view of the gaming Industry, Wow, how funny is the guy blowing out the back of his head because he can't handle the pressure of writing an inspiring critique for a potential boring game called Europa? Nice. They may want to leave the sexual content, alcohol, and self destruction out of it. Just give the critique. I am a very open-minded person, but wow, this is pretty warped for young kids. It seems X-Play doesn't have the ability to critique anything without adding some sick distorted adult humor. Like the guy dressing up as a girl with a hand drill saying "I just want to screw" The game they were critiquing was not about screwing, but about a little Japanese girl who uses her weapon which happens to be a drill, to save her best friends. Get back on track people! Give our younger generation some real reason why or why not to buy the game. Hey, instead of calling the show "X-Play", they should call it what it is...the X show.
