Killing every 6 minutes for Red Dead Redemption's first 2 weeks

Proof that games cause violence, in games, is here! We bloody thirsty lot were offing citizens every 6 mins on average in Red Dead Redemption.

Such was our contempt for virtual life that over 130m died the first two weeks of Rockstar Games’ cowboy romp. 5.7m hats were shot off in duels!

Yeah those first 2 weeks were a real blast alright with 131,904,068 murders having taken place in the open world and coyote-infested frontier land that Rockstar San Diego put together for us. 156,945 in-game years past with 5,614 of those spent behind bars.

14m hours play time were racked up which would take a single gamer, and a certainly dedicated individual, before 1700 B.C. up until now to accomplish.

Only 1.8m horse thefts though which shows just how much we respect horse ownership, compared to the general sanctity of life itself. Check out the full statistics Rockstar and GameSpy collated from their spy satellites and bugging equipment.
