When War meets Video Games

1. Why are war video games so popular now?

A: War video games are so popular now because of all the new more realistic graphics game creators are coming up with. Teenagers like us prefer games that are more graphical because of the fact that its better quality. There are more challenges for the player to face and most of the war video games are now longer as they extend the plot of the story for more and better game play.

2. "If it's not realistic, it's not worth playing," is a quote in the article. Do you think realistic war games desensitive people to the horror of war or is it just fun?

A: Well, I do think its more fun, but to me, there are some war games that show a little too much of the really bloody scenes. I mean like, they should really cut back on showing all of the graphical effects that show what happen in reality. The game can be fun with realistic guns, realistic people, maybe a LITTLE bit of blood here and there... but honestly, some games show heads getting cut off, arms and legs being dislocated. Doesn't that make you sick to the stomach? I know it makes ME really sick. Even games that deal with ghosts and what not are less bloodier than some war games.

3. What do you personally think of war video games?

A. I personally think war games are fun. Some might not think so, but I sure know that a good war game, and I repeat, GOOD! Which means not SO SO bloody. Those games, I like to play when i'm really, really angry about something. You know, if I fight with a friend or family, i'd rather take out my anger on a game than on them. It's safe too, no one really gets hurt but the people in the game. But what I really want to point out again, war games are getting to graphical. Some like it, and others don't. Gamers got to learn how to make games that satisfy everyone. As new game systems are coming out(eg. PS3, Wii, Xbox 360), more graphical games are being produced. I can't even imagine how war games will get worse than what some are now. I admit, some are good, but i can't deny the fact that others aren't good due to the fact that it just... disgusts me!
