Are video games becoming to violent? Long gone are the classic video game days. No longer do we have Super Mario Brothers or Atari. Today the games have taken a whole new direction. Violence, yup violence, is the new factor in a majority of all video games. From Halo to other games killing, killing and more killing is the main ingredient in all games. Now are violent video games having a negative impact on our society? I believe violent video games are having a negative impact on our society.

Now many people are blaming video game companies for producing such violent games. But is it the video game companies fault. Or is it the parents fault for allowing kids to play these games. I think it is a little of both. With these major video game corporations I believe they have a responsibility to the public to produce video games which contribute to overall good of our society. I believe they have a responsibility to put out games which help our society not contribute in a negative way by making kids into degenerate thugs.

Now I also believe the parents have the larger responsibility as parents. Now let’s be honest about the video game corps, bottom line they are in it for the money. So the video game corporations cater to what the consumer wants. Whether the consumer is a 30 year old man or your 12 year old son. What do they care as long as their merchandise is off theshelves, kind of like a drug dealer. So the responsibility lays on the parents to step up. Trust me if parents stopped buying these games for their kids, the video game companies would get the hint and the games would change.

P.S. Check out this great Video Game System:

The Handheld Or Television 20-Game Player. The Handheld Or Television 20-Game Player.This is the pocket-sized video game console that has 20 built-in games for instant, portable game-play on its high-definition, 16-bit color LCD, or it can be connected to a television via AV cable for use as a plug-and-play video game.

Eliminating the need to carry game cartridges when traveling, the built-in games include a futuristic fighter jet game, a billiards simulation, and a horizontal puzzle game that requires you to correctly place falling pieces in a row. With integrated speaker, earphone jack, and AV cable. Requires three AAA batteries. Ages 5 and up. 4 3/4″ L x 2 1/2″ W x 1″ H.
