PSP dominates on list of games for parents to avoid

The National Institute on Media and the Family has just released their annual Report Card, and are advising parents to avoid buying certain games for their kids. All of the titles feature "M" ratings, but meh... parents are too busy to actually look at ratings! Here are the games to avoid, with PSP titles bolded:

Gangs of London *
The Sopranos
Grand Theft Auto: Vice City Stories *
Reservoir Dogs
Mortal Kombat: Unchained *
Scarface: The World is Yours
The Godfather: Mob Wars *
Saints Row
Dead Rising
Just Cause

This list tells me one thing: the PSP really is for the mature crowd. Four of those titles are either exclusive, or enhanced on the PSP, making this system easily much more evil than the childish DS counterpart. At least the Institute recommends Loco Roco for the holidays, which should distract the kids from downloading porn onto their systems.

What's wrong with Dead Rising? It's conceivably Resident Evil, with better everything but storyline. What if zombies really did take over a town, all the kids of these parents would be like "We can't kill them! It's wrong! Let's be friendss!"

I can understand GTA on there, because you kill cops, and whatnot, but what's wrong with killing a bunch of the living dead?

The violence that goes with it...

I have always been against the idea that violent games promote violent behavior because the facts just don't indicate that whatsoever for the age group that are capable of playing games.

But this list is, I believe, a good idea. Why? Because parents are ****ing idiots.

What can I say, the PSP is a kick-ass console.

Seriously though, GTA rocks.

Same here. I'm a huge fan of living dead movies and games, and this one seems to be both in one! I plan on getting another 360 soon (my other crapped out on me) just so I can play this game....and Gears of War. Now that is pretty kick ass too.

I wonder why it's not on the list of games not to buy?

Even more than Dreamcast (or Treamcast)? The choices are too close for me, but I like everything though, except for the CD-I (should be officially the worst system of all time).
