Surely a tactical FPS would have been better...
Could be good if they used the Fallout Tactics engine, though.

RPGMaker?
Piss off, I'll be fucked if I'm letting any of those shite RPGMaker engine-based games on my PC ever again.

Ostensibly (and with the wank hat firmly on), a good game could be made of this, depicting the warped world they saw and showing them inevitably leading up to the massacre. It could have quite a powerful message.
I am 99.999% sure this isn't that game though.

Urk. Ill-conceived, to say the least. All it will serve to do is give that Jack Thompson character ammo.

Incredibly insensitive.
Given the pain that the victims and their families went through and the pain suffered by the 'geek profiling' witch hunt afterwards I can't believe anyone would make this.
What next, a Port Arthur sim?

I've actually looked at this.
How tasteless.
It almost seems to be designed to give Thompson ammo.

I certainly find it in bad taste, and wouldn't at all be interested in playing such a game.
However. As far as I am concerned there are no taboos - You can make a game based on what you like. Market forces will decide whether it is acceptable to the masses or not. I.e. you would never make money out of a Columbine RPG.

It may be in bad taste but you could say the same for all the war games that are set in World War II and Vietnam.

Well, sort of. In WW2 games, at least you're generally always shooting at people who were paid to be shot at. Not sure about the Vietnam ones, though. Were the Viet-Kong paid?

You know i was thinking that as I looked through the site - If you look at the screenshots, I dont think there is any glorification going on here - Just because it is played through the eyes of the offenders, doens't make it sympathetic to them.

..hohum..
..well, I found it hilarious!
Insensitivity - you could call Michael Moore insensitive.. well, okay, so alot of people have.. but honestly, this isn't insensitive at all, missing the point most certainly.
Who suggested a tactical fps? That'd be crap.. everyone is unarmed!
