Earlier this week GamePolitics was highly critical of an appearance by Dr. Susan Bartell on Fox’s The Morning Show with Mike & Juliet.
Bartell, a psychologist and author, ripped violent video games ingeneral and Halo 3 in particular. Putting it mildly, we took issue withher comments. (see: Who is This Person & Why is She Saying These Awful Things About Halo 3?)
