As if video games don’t already glorify violence and degrade people’s minds! I mean there are video games encouraging players to beat up prostitutes and take their money; to kill cops; to set people on fire and then urinate on them. And now, thanks to RiverWired, there is a video game, which urges players to fight to restore coral reefs. The object in this perverse game, Battle For The Coral Reef, is to clear the ocean of waste and bring back coral life. Just what we need: Another video game teaching our children to take care

Katie– Thanks for your great comments on our new game — we thought about getting violent but we heard coral reefs can get pretty rough. We try to make up for it on the rest of the site. :<}
