If Richard Taylor could have his way, gamers in the UK could be facing a heavy increase in the price of violent video games. See, Mr. Taylor is the guy who advises UK Prime Minister Gordon Brown on knife crime, and he thinks that the PM should levy a "very high" tax on violent video games in order to cut the number of knife crimes.

Even if the murder was committed against Stefan Pakeerah four years ago, the issue is still pretty much alive as British Prime Minister Gordon Brown will meet with the mother of the Manhunt murder victim to discuss concerns on the violent content of games. Find out more in the full article.

With all the disputes happening due to the game ratings and violence found in video games these days, British Prime Minister Gordon Brown has laid out a game plan. This includes the use of a study being done by Dr. Tanya Byron as part of their plan to crack down on "unsuitable" video games. More information in the full article.

Gordon Brown, the Prime Minister of the UK, has responded to the rising trend of knife-stab victims in the nation, placing plans to have teens and adults carrying knives in the streets prosecuted once discovered. And it appears that law enforcement will be hiking up their alert status, and knife-wielding "thugs" in the nation's stabbing hotspots  will no longer be let off with warnings. Brown has also expressed some concern about knife-wielding game characters.

"I am not interested in censorship at all." This was UK Prime Minister Brown's clarification regarding his call to review the impact of media violence on children made earlier this week.

Speaking at his second press conference since stepping into office, he said that the government would of course be keeping a tight lookout for the children's welfare, especially in this day and age of multimedia.

Says the Prime Minister, "The sources of information for children from a very young age now are the internet, television, commercial, advertising. That is a good thing in so many different ways, but where there is pornographic or violent material, any parent is going to be concerned."

But while he promises that this review would not go anywhere near the territory of censorship, he does admit that he's looking to setting up new controls. In order to pursue this, he then asks for the support and cooperation not only of the parents, but more importantly, of media itself.

At the end of the day, he says it's not about the government dictating people what to do nor is it about the authorities spoonfeeding the folks what to think. Rather, it is to be able to put up legitimate boundaries in society as concurred by all involved.

The review is launched today and will be conducted by the Department of Culture, Media and Sport, along with the Department for Children, Schools and Families.
