Is all that violence and sex in video games really necessary to entertain?Violence & Sex in Games - Page 16
What don't you understand? There is a big difference between reading about violence, and playing it in a game. On one you have to visualize it and it is usually brief in a game it is constant and you control it, it is almost as you are the violence in some of these games. I do agree that some books and TV shows are very violent but that is not what this topic is about. One does not excuse the other in any case.

A new case brings back the discussion of whether or not violent games have a profound effect on people's behavior, specially young children.
QUOTE Louisiana authorities say an 8-year-old boy intentionally shot and killed a 90-year-old woman who was his caregiver after watching a video game with violent themes.
East Feliciana Parish sheriff's deputies did not provide a motive, but they said the boy was playing the video game "Grand Theft Auto IV" - a realistic game that's been associated with encouraging violence and awards points to players for killing people - just minutes before the fatal shooting. The game is rated "M" For mature audiences and recommended for ages 17 and older.
Authorities are calling the shooting a homicide. Source 8

Violence & Sex in Games
Video games have come a long way from what they used to be and the point is to make it as realistic as possible - that's the scary part, not the realism but in the hands of someone who might not be able to distinguish reality from virtual reality it can turn out very bad.

Game makers go over the top and they do it because some gamers or rather a lot of gamers like to act out things they wouldn't do themselves or would they if they were not to be caught? Makes you wonder about the reason behind their looking for this kind of 'entertainment'.
