Case Study: Super Columbine Massacre RPG!
Watch this promo, and do some research online, and venture an opinion. How informed is your opinion if you have not actually played this game?

Here is an interview with a Columbine survivor, whose opinions about the game may surprise you. http://kotaku.com/171966/columbine-survivor-talks-about-columbine-rpg
