i'm referring to FPS games mostly, but you can use any games in your argument as you see fit. i'll post my opinion later, when i see a few others' ;)
discuss.

A woman in America was playing a game of Farmville on facebook..... murdered her newborn because it kept crying and interrupting her game play sessions.
-
yup, i read something about that. apparently she "shook" her baby to death.. :-\
but of course, farmville doesn't "promote" violence. imo the mother was had an addiction to it, and that coupled with what seems to be some serious anger management problems made her do what she did

Are you on TSR ?

TheStudentRoom? No.. why do you ask?
i just used this site last year for o-level past papers (thanks a lot to all who're responsible for that By the way) and decided to check out the forums recently..

I don't think all video games promote violence.
It depends on the mindset of the player. If they get too influenced, they will be violent. However, most adults/teens understand that a video game is nothing close to reality. Incidents where video game has promoted violence is very rare. They only get more publicity, thats it.!

i couldn't have expressed my opinion any better , stylish ;)
that's almost exactly what i think too
-
video games forced me to never trust a German and a arab :P
-
and what about Russians? ;D
-
and North Koreans.
You played black Ops ?
I played yesterday and God it was good.
-
didn't get it yet... don't think i will, cos if i get a game i NEED to run it @ max.. and my current rig can't do that, so i'd go mad and blow all my cash on a new system.. going to uni next year and need all the money i can get don't i ;D ( though i have done a few hours on BO @ a friend's x360, wasn't bad )
mw2 ftw.
-
Ah.
Same here.
I was actually confused on Fifa 11 and this Black Ops.
Price is a bomb man. I only bought 2 games in 2010.
But the recent experience of call of duty , medal of honour and kill zone series swayed me towards Black Ops.
:D
-
i only buy games that i absolutely have to. everything else, piratebay ftw 8)
anywaaay, on topic. ;D
-
Like i said.
When i am walking in a arab street i fear some one will go LAlalallalalallala *BOOM* :D
and when i finished playing Resident evil 5 every time a niggaa passed by i pissed in my pants.
I was honestly expecting them to show their fangs and red eyes any minute.
No offence intended
Its a joke

Videogames can trigger many different conditions or situations, like:
-obsessive compulsive disorder
-depression (more likely depressed ppl might play too much more or less like drinking too much)
-addictions (like the woman who killed a baby, or chinese players who stab some other player due to some mmorpg dispute)
-Shouting way too much bad words while playing, not directly related to violence, but...
-
I like video games when I am playing, hate them while I am not. ::)

Absolutely! Depends on how we take it. As matter of fact, everything in life does! :D
-
nah i dont think video games promote violence !
they dont promote but make ppl aware of different kinds of violence
-
is this all? i thought there were many more people on here ::)

I somehow agree with Styish Executive's post. 15-16+ realize that the scenes in video games don't exist in reality and they shouldn't be taken serious.
But speaking honestly, I played video games like Grand Theft Auto series, Bullworth Academy and those like Medal of Honour at the age of 12-13 At that time I use to think myself as a street gang member in future and doing these tricks. Later I realized that its bad and all but yeah it might provoke someone else to like these things. Some of these games do promote violence like those being produced by Rockstar games.

Yes, GTA SA does contain materials which are not suitable for kids. That's why it has got a "M" rating. ;)
And its really silly that they are pondering over that petty 'hot coffee' thing! ::)
