Video Game Violence and The Real World

Games and the Real World - Before the Research


Video games are the best way to past time. They are fun, challenging, and full of action or adventure. I love to play video games and it helps past the time whether its the Knights and Fantasy game of Runescape or the Fight for Humanity of Gear of War. Both are very fun to play but have a lot of violence in them. Runescape is a hack and slash turn based MMORPG that involves quest, minigames, and fighting. Gears of War is the most violent blood and gore game out there. with body parts all over the place it's a great shooter. Its a great game to play and awesome to tear up the enemy. But the violence is so crazy in this game and I like it.

Kids and Teens have have been portraying violent acts against other people including their own parents. Reports have been in the news of Shootings, Car Jacking, Fights, and a bunch of other violent acts seen in video games. There are blocks to stop young gamers from playing violent games on the consoles. But that doesn't seem to be enough.

Are Video Games Violence and the Real World violence some how connected? If so are there any ways of stopping or lowering those violent acts? Is there a point where Reality and Fantasy become one in a persons mind? Are there more violent games coming out now then before? These are the questions I would like to find out.
