I went to the Redbox last night and noticed how many games they are now renting. All of these games had a common theme how to kill people in different ways. Does anyone think this is good for the mind and soul? Spending hour after hour in a virtual world killing and maiming...anyone?
Probably not. I’ve played a great deal of 1st person shooters before, and personally I found them both boring and offputting. Much neater games out there.
No accounting for taste, though.
No it isn't, and any good parent shouldn't let their children play them, (unfortunately we know that their are many if not a majority of parents that just don't care). The point I was making was the people talking about banning these games are just spitting in the wind, because the Supreme Court has already sunk that ship. You manage to get a ban passed in you town or state, it will be struck down by a federal court so fast it will make your head spin.
I haven’t played in years but really enjoyed Tom Clancy’s “Splinter Cell” when it came out about 10 years ago.
Yes, you shot people in the game but the focus was more on spy tactics and skill rather than killing. It had no gore except for the occasional pink mist.
I’m not saying they should be banned but people that play some of the mindless HD killing games for hours and hours do worry me
