We watched a documentary called Moral Combat which focused on violence in video games and compared and looked at both sides of the argument, it compared games like Grand theft auto and manhunt and talked about whether they influence children to become more violent in their nature. I dont agree with what was stated in the documentary about violent games influencing children to a level where they will commit crimes based on games they have played. The documentary did show however people who have claimed that they were influenced by games to commit crimes as their defence, i think that if someone is influenced by a game to commit a crime or violence then it is in that persons nature to act like that anyway as from personal eperience I have played tonnes of violent video games and i am not a violent person at all.
Here are my notes on the video.
Moral Combat - Realistically violent
Video games - storytellers
Abes Odysee - Deeper understanding, change in motives.
- A man actually didnt commit suicide because the game had that much of an impact on his life.
GTA - Huge landmark in game history - ability to make choices
Postal2 - Whats the point of violence in this game?
Sex and violence sell £££
We are getting closer to a world where a virtual world is real.
