So in the last hour of playing this game I finished it. I am appalled that the game makers had the audacity to put actual pictures of the two boys after they had killed themselves. I might have been able to handle one, but they used several shots from the crime scene. obviously this game is trying to help you see from the boys' perspective but I found it to be dangerously close to making these boys look like heroes, or role models which for obvious reasons is not OK. When on my shooting rampage, I noticed that the victims had very stereotypical labels which I think is hurtful to the actual victims of this tragedy. The kids that were murdered were not just "Preppy Boys" or "Pretty Girls." It is hard to judge a game like this because, at least in my view, games automatically have positive connotations so it is hard for me to digest the triviality of this game. I think that if the game makers were trying to create an informative game, they should have remained much more objective.

I think this game is very interesting. It offers a very different view of the two boys who committed the columbine massacre. The first thing that popped into my mind when I was exploring one of the boys' house was that this could almost be an invasion of their privacy. Should we really have access to a virtual house of the murderers and be allowed to read their conversations? Also the recording left behind by the boys obviously has intense emotional implications for the people who were impacted by this event. I feel like it is almost insensitive to make such a serious and painful incident into a game.
