The lawsuit, filed this morning in state District Court in Albuquerque, argues that the video game made violence "pleasurable and attractive," disconnected violence from consequences and caused Posey to "act out, copycat, replicate and emulate the violence" he wielded July 2004 when he shot and killed his father, stepmother and stepsister then buried them under a manure pile at the Hondo ranch owned by former ABC newsman Sam Donaldson.

"The word is out there - these games are leading to killings," said Miami attorney and controversial anti-video-game-violence activist Jack Thompson in a news conference this morning on the steps of the state District Court.
