"Library's Halo 2 contest causes a stink"
Gamepolitics.com reports that a public library holding a Halo 2 competition has caused some controversy. More info if you follow the title link.
While the library is requiring parental permission slips before admitting underage players to the event, the game's M-rating is not spelled out. Some worry that parents may not realize that their kids will be playing a violent shooting game.
What I find most interesting about the article is this part:
Rose Allen (left), the Mount Prospect library's teen director, explained that the Halo 2 tournament was created on the recommendation of the library’s teen advisory board in order to attract more teenage boys.
A Teen Advisory Board! Yay!
