  • Dexter - a Wii game

  • Because playing them is not enough, we have to bitch about them daily, too. We had a Gameplay forum, but it got replaced by GameFAQs.

Parent organizations are already decrying the game, calling it a training tool for serial killers.

They call it a hack n slash game...Dexter does not hack n slash!!

I am surprised by Nintendo's marketing guy response: Willis warned the protesters, "We're posting pictures of you all on the Dexter game message boards, so you might want to think twice before showing your face again."

I doubt it will be a good game, but I'm glad to see a game like this(rated Adult) for the Wii.

Oh lord, those idiots are at it again. First Mortal Kombat, then Night Trap, then nearly every FPS starting with Doom, and now this? We need to all pitch in and get these wastes of skin and bones lives.

It does sound like a cheap cash-in on the show. Let's hope that against all odds it turns out to be good and something that fans of the show would actually want to give a shot. As good as 24: The Game would be the best we can hope for. And that one was a great game for fans of the show (mediocre game, great storyline)

games based on tv shows only create tears.

Wii's second murder game. Personally I find it insane that these games are allowed on the system. I am for freedom of speech and expression, but these guys are abusing it and only serve to counter the cause they will likely quote. You wanna push the boundaries, in my opinion, make it sexual, not violent. Do what Kevin Smith did.

Always exceptions to every rule. See the Buffy game. We can only pray for another exception

And the ps2 transformers game was good too, but these are in a very extreme minority.

What's the big deal? They said right out of the door that it's going to be rated AO.

That's going to be a Mature rating. Sony, Microshaft, and Nintendo all have a policy of not allow AO-rated games on their systems and Walmart, Best Buy, Gamespot, and every big retailer won't sell AO-rated games.

I read that but I still don't believe it will come out with an AO. That's like an NC-17 movie, it just won't get distribution and no one wants that. That's not exactly a gaming site so I'm hypothesizing that Adult = Mature and not AO.
