When War meets Video Games

1. Video games are so popular now because they have been for years. They are a good form of entertainment and fun for all ages. The technology of video games also keeps changing and improving while increasing in popularity. Not that many years ago there was a grey plastic box called Nintendo 64 and now technology has evolved so much that we have the X-box, Gamecube, Nintendo DS and many other variations of Video Game technology some which can be played with a small DVD and some that can have multiple players long distances apart. Video games haven’t become popular recently, they have been popular for a while now however they are more popular with every new and upcoming technology.

2. Yes I think realistic games desensitize people to the horror of war. These games make war and killing look fun when it is far from that. War is a horrible thing that shouldn’t occur but when it does it kills and hurts many people. It is almost as if these games are poking fun at war or encouraging people to kill when they shouldn’t. These war games could have a very bad influence on people especially those who haven’t yet been educated on war does to people.

3. I personally think that war games should not exist. They make war look fun and good when it is the complete opposite. War is a very sad but serious matter and people should not play games pretending to be in wars and killing people. You wouldn’t kill a person in real life so what makes killing someone in a video game any better? It may not be real life but it does and could influence people badly.
