Violence In Video Games

Computer games can be said to be getting worse generally if they become more violent. It is a sad comment on society for the complex development of the computers to be used as a means to simulate violence, murder, and death. Why video games so often revolve around violent themes is as basic of a question as why popular media titles such as movies so often also depict violent themes. The unquestionable fact is that multiple exposures to violence of this sort is desensitizing. Some will argue that without killing the game would have no fun, excitement, or adventure, which is of course entirely absurd. If a video game depicts "Space Invaders" as geometrical patterns to be destroyed, then that imprint is repeated and learned to become a basic thought pattern. We similarly see the same theme in Science Fiction movies, on the "War of the Worlds" or "Independence Day" variety. Patterning human intelligence to react violently through unconscious thought patterns to the visitation of intelligent life from other planets should not be encouraged.

The same applies to the violence of virtual beings against virtual beings in other video games. As video games become more graphically violent as to create calls for a ratings system, then there are other, greater needs involved. The strange fact that drives the market is that violence sells video games, which is a very difficult issue, as control over creative expression is not considered desirable in the industry, and is said to be driven by market demand.

Thus it is a matter of personal choice, as with any other media, that becomes the key: one should be very careful with what kind of thoughts one fills the mind with, whether they are coming from the video game, tv, movies, the internet, or any other kind of program. If video games that are imaginative and amazing are created using the top aspects of gaming technology, and include no violence, then they will attract more players. Young video game players may simply play the violent games because they are all so commonly available and not question the violent aspects of it, like a cartoon.

I could not afford that, I barley had enough money to pay for my live subscription and points.

Lucky for me I have a friend who works for Xbox Live, he told me that get called about the red lights on the Xbox 360 at least twenty times a day. That a lot for just one person, and it just so happens that over eleven millions other consoles are going to suffer the same problems. He did point me out in the right direction thought because he is my friend. Normally he has to get the people to buy the costly service, and he gets commission on the sales that he makes for Microsoft repairs.
