Atari's upcoming graffiti game Getting Up: Contents Under Pressure is getting some pressure of it's own:
Written by designer Marc Ecko and featuring the voice of hip-hop artist Talib Kweli, Atari describes "Getting Up" as a "groundbreaking graffiti gameplay system."
But Councilman Peter Vallone Jr. (D-Queens) sees it as far more sinister.
"You are personally encouraging children to deface neighborhoods, break the law and wind up behind bars," Vallone wrote in a letter to Atari Chairman Bruno Bonnell. "This is an appalling lack of responsibility on your part."
