another god damn reason for jack thompson to say games bring violence. god damnit. it's people like that that ruin people's chances to buy video games, and bring us ever so close to M games being exterminated.

people are sick, it's a freakin xbox for chris sakes.

[Nokarot]

Can't blame the game. Honestly, if you're going to punch your baby for anything, you deserve to be in a loony house.

[PMS Fedaykin]

I agree that you can't blame the game. I imagine the reaction would have been the same had it been a porclain vase, stereo equipment, or maybe even a beer that was knocked over. Some people have no concept of how their actions will result, and are dangers to society, video games or not. But that is absolutely disgusting.

[H2O SkywalkerX]

i agree, but you know they are going too.

especially jack thompson. it's just another excuse to blame video games on violence, but of course i totally disagree, it was the person, and he was obviously sick, therefore, it was his actions, rather, not the video game.

[H2O Snake]

OMFG this is horrible. It has nothing to do with the XBOX though. That guy was just insane if he would hit his child over a game. Obviously this is going to be another case for people against violent videogames. I have a feeling Hillary Clinton will do a nice speech about this as well. On how video games effect our babies?

[PMS love]

that is just sad... the worse part is he is probably going to spend life in prison PLAYING the reason he was sent there... I hate irony...as well as the prison system.

Thats just wrong, killing the girl over a video game. He's a crazy psychopath and needs to be put in a mental asylum.

[r33hash]

He won't get videogames in prison.

[Genghis Is My Homeboy]

And yet another reason to blame video games for violence. That is sad though :(

And did anyone notice the ad for video games right under it?

[H2O Snake]

He won't get videogames in prison.

I wouldnt be suprised if he did...american prison systems treat their prisoners pretty well. 3 meals a day, exercise, library and computer time, tv. Thats alot better then poverty. And alot of times schooling. If he did it in TX he would prob be hauled off right after the trial to the chair.

[Kelpie PMS]

That's really sad :( My heart goes out to the mother.

[PMS love]

he will get videogames.... they pretty much just have a crefew and a schedule.... bad bad criminals....they should just slap them on the wrist it might work better...

[PMS Batgirl]

Wow.....that's mental. I love being lumped into the same catagory as mentally unstable people since I happen to share a common interest as them. I wonder what the politicians would say if they drove the same car that Ted Bundy did........

[PMS Kahlo]

Wow. That's absolutely horrible. :(

[Jumper PMS]

that's inanely depressing.
People are retarted and that guy should die.
wow... hitting a baby? over a video game? wow...

[SuperSaiyan4]

that's inanely depressing.
People are retarted and that guy should die.
wow... hitting a baby? over a video game? wow...

Actually Jumper he KILLED the baby...:( It says he beat the child to death :( :(

[Jumper PMS]

well yeah, i know, i was just referring to if someone hit their kid.

killing babies is horrible and something completley different.

[Gypsyfly PMS]

Wow, that's incredibly disturbing including some of the thoughtless comments on Kotaku about the article.

[CYPHER]

Having kids of my own, I don't see how a man could do that to his own child! I made me sick to even read about it. Obviously he has some anger issues that he has probably had all his life. What a horrible story!

[lemons13]

i can't believe anyone ever do that, that is just scarey to think that there are people out there like that.

[x Kaiye]

wow i cannot beleave that:(

[Xenos]

cant believe people would get that upity over anything. this is just sad

[Arella Goddess]

Wow, I mean to know you died from someone that is sopposed to love you. That is messed up.

[PMS Saphira]

That is so sad. I can't imagine how anyone could want to even injure their own kid. He obviously has some kind of anger problem.

[Vandal]

thats pretty grimey.

[The Geeky Panda]

jack thompson must be having a field day with this, and Xbox 1 is built liek a tank, good lord people do these days are sad and or sick.

[Athena Twin PMS]

This is really sad :(

[USA Shadow Wolf]

You are all wrong. He will be playing a video game in prison. Its a classic. Its called, "Don't Drop the Soap."

Poor kid, she didn't have a chance. :(

[Archer]

i can't believe he did this either..why do ppl like him have children when there sitting at a console all day and when his child needs him he clumps her and didnt think he hurt her..just gos to show what sort of life that person would have had if she would have survivied if it just takes that sort of situation to cause there death..

[Mary Jane PMS]

This is just all so horrible. I can't blame the games, I can only blame him. Anyone that could do something like that needs to be put away for good. I feel sick to my stomache... that there is so much anger and hate in this world to the point that a man can kill his own child in a fit of rage like that...

[black mamba DSO]

wow, that's terrible. and yeah it sucks that it gives people more reason to say video games cause violence. i hope that guy feels terrible.

[kdawg15]

thats a sad story but you cant blame video games for it

[CajunH2O]

That's really sad :( My heart goes out to the mother.

Actually the mom tried to help the dad cover. They both told cops baby fell down. Yeah.....ok

[Mafia]

Damn, that's just Crazy

[PsychoNaut]

Why in the world would you kill your baby over a stupid video game. I agree with a lot of you guys sayin the guy was totally insane in the first place. Him getting all out of control did have nothing to do with the video game, but the fact that it seemed to be the most important thing to him if he's gonna kill someone over it. having a 4 month old myself, i love my baby to death and i absolutely hate to see these things.DEATH TO HIM!

[Super Sexy Vixen]

poor little baby this makes me sick to my stomach...:(
