Brickbat: Not Playing

After a deadly school shooting in Tacloban, Philippines, the government has temporarily banned the video game Gorebox because one of the teenage suspects allegedly played it.

Two boys opened fire in a classroom, killing three students and wounding 20 others.

Police say one of the shooters was "heavily influenced" by content online, including the game, which lets players use weapons and explosives in a virtual world.

The government wants to investigate if it played a role in the attack.
