Descriptions of this content ranges from players decapitating people with shovels to slaughtering nude female zombies to beating policemen to death.<br /> <br />The Entertainment Merchants Association is currently challenging California's law.<br /> <br />Currently, Connecticut has not enacted its own set of legal restrictions on video games, but Blumenthal said it is critical to preserve the state's right to impose such limits."^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
