'25 to Life' game boycott

Democrats in the Michigan House of Representatives have called for a boycott of the "25 to Life" videogame, "in which players try to kill police officers to win the game," the Detroit Free Press reports. "The call for a boycott joins a national campaign by the police organizations to keep children and families away from the game." "25 to Life" is rated Mature/17+ by the Entertainment Software Rating Board , which says "titles in this category may contain intense violence, blood and gore, sexual content, and/or strong language." Gaming news site Gamasutra.com reports that the National Law Enforcement Officers Memorial Fund "has collected more than 220,000 signatures protesting" the game.
