Violence In Video Games

The other day, when my mom and I were waiting for our food at Wendy's, we got in a conversation about violence in games. This came up alot since my playing of Madworld all week. Personally, I think that violent games are not bad at all, especially since I've been playing M-rated games since 6 years old. But, of course, my mom thinks differently. She says that violent games are not good for kids, or society. This topic has been a hot one ever since the first Mortal Kombat was released. But the conversation went on in a heated way. Me saying," Violence in games is not bad!" and she saying the opposite. Long story short, I won. Think about it, some of the best games out there are pretty damn violent! GTA IV has drugs, rape, and a cornicopia of vehicular manslaughter. Halo has blood, blood, and racist 12 year olds online. Modern Warfare 2 has a terrorism level in it. So face it, the best games are violent games. Thanks for reading...
