Senator Schumer takes aim at violent video game

The Associated Press

New York- Senator Charles Schumer is trying to keep a new video game from making it to store shelves and homes in the US.

The New York Democrat says the objective of the game called “25 to life” is to shoot police officers, and use civilians as human shields. He says the game is so gruesome that it lowers common decency.

Schumer is asking stores not to stock the game and for PlayStation manufacturer Sony and X-Box maker Microsoft to cancel their licensing agreements with the British company that makes it. However, teen-agers who are most likely to play the game say they are anxiously waiting its arrival.
