The Impact of Violent Videogames

It’s interesting how we can watch a group of people getting slaughtered on TV, then all it a documentary. Yet, we go nuts when a kid decides it is cool to play a game where they can gun people down. Newsflash people - this problem did not come from video games. It came from human nature…

Violent media has existed as long as human history and the debate over how or when to control it is as hotly contested as ever. With the trend towards greater realism and graphic content that began in the 90’s, videogames have found themselves the focal point du jour. But how much of an impact have these violent videogames had? We’ll take a look at the psychological, political, and economic issues surrounding violent videogames and try to make sense of it all. No matter which side of the fence you sit on this argument, it is important to know the facts. Source: IGN
