Are games starting to push the wrong buttons?

As video games evolve from a niche pastime into a leisure activitiy that's part of two-thirds of U.S. households, it's only natural for game developers to test their boundaries -- and, occasionally, break them. Consequently, the last few years have seen video games embroiled in scandals around race, religion, violence, sexual content, and even attitudes toward war. Here's just a handful of recent games that rubbed the public the wrong way.

I remember the hub bub over Mass Effect and couldn't help but laugh at how out of touch some people are. Fox really missed the mark on that one.

Resident Evil 5 is a laughable argument from race-baiters. Where were they in Resident Evil 4 to defend the poor caucasian looking Spainards that suffered from the same virus that caused the Africans to go bezerk? People with an agenda will fit anything to match their argument.

On a side note, RE5 was a disappoint as a game. Too much action not enough horror.

The Little Big Planet thing I didn't even hear. Thank Ala they stopped or else Sony would have ceased to exist due to a suicide bomber.
