Violent Video Games

At home I rent violent video games when I was 15 and 16 years old. I would rent Turok a game where you have to shoot Dinosaurs. Doom was pretty in a killing outrage in glorifying pink ugly bloody demons you have to shoot down after blood gore killed on the ground. Today, I like to play Medal of Honor which doesn’t have blood in the game. It is situated on a WW2 battle against Nazi Germans. On Nintendo 64, my favorite game was Goldeneye 007 and Killer Instinct on Super Intendo. This video game reality is like the movie, “The Matrix.” How Artificial Intelligent human robots go into a computer based dream world for your mind where people live everything is unreal. It’s not a reality world it is like a game for your mind. But, Neo has to get out of the fake world to be free to live in the real world. If I had my children allowed to play violent video games, they would have to be older to play them and take the individual responsibilities to know a lesson between violence and non-violence. I think these violent games should be illegal to sell or rent to young kids. They should be controlled into not buying them till you are older and wiser. Because they contribute to violence in society, I see violence around the world that involves around us. I wish there was peace in this world, but what can we do it just never stops. We have these dreams and we want them to become good in way to happen in a real way.
