The flavor of the week to kick things off is gaming & terrorism articles. You can check out a few different ones at AVault , VoodooExtreme , and FiringSquad which all cover pretty much the same ground. Should game content be changed due to the recent attacks? As someone who didnt really lose anyone close to the recent disasters it's really hard for me to say. I try to imagine the incredible amount of pain I would feel if I lost my fiancee in the WTC. Then I try to imagine if seeing references to the WTC would cause me pain? Then what about the recent Counter-Strike map that features a crashed jet for example?

It just seems like a losing battle to try and be super-sensitive to this kind of thing. The super-sensitive types already hate games for being too violent and allegedly encouraging violence. Should we really pull every game that has any type of reference to terrorism or the WTC or the Pentagon off shelves until they can be reworked?

What would you think is a reasonable idea of how the gaming industry should react to all of this, if at all?
