What? No one's created a board for these games before now? Well, I guess someone's had to so here it is. I haven't played the first one but I have Q2. I got it as a boxed set with Mission Packs I and II and the Netpack. The strat guide would've been a nice touch but considering the games separately were about $50 and the set was only $30 at Fry's I won't quibble.

Anyway, so far as I've played Q2 (and it hasn't been a whole lot) I've enjoyed it. It's like Unreal, or is at least built on the same engine I think but I still like it. How does anyone else like the games?

Quality games. Not in any way responsible for nutcases blowing their school chums away.

True, and anyone who blames others, or video games or any other source that they want on their actions says more about that person than the actual crime itself, and possibly even the person's family, as well. In other words, you've got to take responsibility for your own actions rather than place unwarranted blame elsewhere.

Violence in entertainment is always blamed for people's violent actions. Years ago, they used to blame music, then it was movies, and now it's video games. The blame is always shifted away from the parents of individuals who commit those crimes. I've played seriously violent games all my life and have yet to kill someone. Why? Because my parents tought me two things: the difference between reality and fantasy, and that killing people is wrong.
