Once again people who have never played the game are trying to act like they know what they're talking about. Idiots.
All it took was for the ESRB to cave ONCE to the goverment pressure and now this idiot has gone insane with power. Maybe, Mr. Thompson, you should, as the ESRB did, PLAY Killer 7 and THEN decide what it should be rated instead of pulling sentences out of an IGN review and acting like your an expert on Killer 7's content.
What the heck does that even MEAN?
I suppose that based SOLELY on an IGN review the answer might very well be "yes", but maybe you should use the actual GAME as a basis instead?
One final thought: Why do they act like an "M" rating means that it's being marketted for kids? Last time I checked most placed ask for your ID when you buy an "M" rated game, meaning you pretty much have to be 17 to get. That same 17 year-old can get into a "R" rated movie that has just as much violence and sexual content as an "M" rated game, if not more.

Quote:"Well, the Killer 7 game underscores the fact that your organization and the industry it fronts for appear to try to get away with anything that is harmful to kids, whether already illegal or not. What it also means is that if jurors in a criminal prosecution were asked whether Killer 7 contains 'sexual material harmful to minors' in violation of statutory standards, then, based upon the above enthusiastic review at IGN.com, the answer to that question would probably be 'yes.'
