A 14-year-old girl had a seizure after a five-hour marathon of
True
Crime: New York City. While most game veterans can withstand even greater lengths of time without so much as
skipping a beat (or not), there are those for whom
incessant
warnings actually apply to in good measure.
According to WTAE-TV, True Crime: NYC includes sections where you drive your car through snow, and the
snowflakes act as a strobe light, which caused the convulsions (rather than
the bright
ads plastered all over the virtual city). Amy Kopaska's brother apparently
took a break
when it was her turn to play, though it was not disclosed whether he was actually old enough to fit the ESRB's
age-based recommendations for the M-rated title.
"Kopaska now only plays one to two hours at a time and then takes a break," something a few of us could probably learn
a thing or two from.
