true and untrue facts about violent games

violent games don't courpt minds of kids. its a safe way to take out your anger. on you tube i heard some women say "instead of safely taking out their anger in contact sports they do it in video games". She's almost saying it isn't safe to shoot a pixelized character with no emotion that dosen't feel real pain and don't even have a soul, but it is safe to tackle someone and punch them in the faceuntil they cry cause theyfeel real pain and emotion and they have a soul. does that make real sense to you? The ESRB shouldn't ban manhunt. It's not that hard to not play it if you don't like violence. And don't be like " my kid plays to much of this game". Maybe they'd play it less if you said something. Don't make them stop playing, or they'll get ultra pissed, just makethem play it less.

I know that when I was younger I played any game that they released. My parents took no interest really. Even when they saw me fragging people and killing zombies etc, they just didnt mind.

Fortunately I turned out ok (LOL)

Safe way to take out anger? Get a punching bag.

Playing a game while angry will most likely lead to more frustration. When you are angry, you can't think as well, so seemingly normal games seem harder to focus upon. You get frustrated and soon you're throwing controllers around.

Some say they play games to relax them. I think not. With more and more games that require hours of playing, critical decisions, elitism, it's anything but relaxing.

It's an intense experience that should be played with a clear mind, not a clouded one. If you want to cool off, go eat some food, watch TV, sleep, etc.
