And you thought games only killed "

How many times have you heard stuff like “Games are evil” or “Games kill” or “GTA is the devil's handiwork”, and the list goes on, but if Ohio police are to be believed, the PlayStation 2 managed to avert what could have been a major bloodbath. On the 28th of March, Ohio police discovered Jemell D. Gibson and Robert D. Smith shot in a drive-by shooting and feel the situation could have been worse as there were a lot of kids in the house where they were shot, but (thankfully) none of the kids were injured as they were in the living room engrossed in a PS2 game (imagine the irony, if you will, if they were playing San Andreas). What do you have to say now Jack Thompson?!
