When War meets Video Games

War video games are so popular now because gamers can" experience” a part of the reality of the experience at the front line battle combat. Games such as Call of Duty, Brother in Arms, Medal of Honor are examples of games that deal with wars. War video games give challenges to the gamer in that it gives you challenges in each level, making it more exciting to play. But what really makes the war games more enjoyable is the game play style. The games have characters; weapons, settings and etc. that look very detailed. Some people may also enjoy the game’s intensity as it is a slight reflection of how much horror there was during the real war days. Personally, I own war games and think that war games and other games with violence can be a bad influence to kid and teenagers. Sometimes you get so absorbed into the game you can neglect your work. As a drastic example, the shooting which took place in Montreal was apparently due to this student practicing in war games. So, games could influence people in a negative way. However, I think that people do have control power, and they should be able to decide what is reality or fiction. So, even as great a so, even as great as the graphics of the games are, they should still be able to know that it is not fake and that violence is not as colorful as it shows on the TV screen.
