Description
Over the years, computer games have blown apart much of the world by that I mean, virtually blowing them up. I don't mean like in the film Wargames where the world was nearly blown up.

Does Violent games make violent people
No, it doesn't make them, it doesn't help though, but people who play these sorts of games open themselves up to the blood and gore and content. I've just finished a horror role playing game which I must say that I was rather jumpy and the content of it made my skin crawl, but as a Horror junkie I felt that the content of the game and the wonderful engine that it uses would make any real gamer get sucked into it.

Should some games be banned for Political reasons
No, there are lots of games that take place in world war two and if these games are acceptable to play without second thought about upsetting those who experienced it first hand then, it shouldn't matter that the new games are dealing with current issues.

Are Shoot 'em up games helping the Military train
I suppose they are but it doesn't take the same level of physical activity to play a first person shooter with your hands as it does with your entire body in real life, the nearest thing that the general public have to shooting a real gun, at least here in England where we don't have the right to bare arms, is to go paintballing.

What is the ideal game for my children to play
Any Role playing game where you have to do things in a certain order. Or an adventure game that teaches you how to improve yourself and the character your playing.

I guess in short all games one way or another teaches us something. Even if we don't notice it. A while ago I found a game about the Titanic, and it was amazing to look around it, a few weeks after it's release they found some new information about the Titanic's sinking which explained alot about how and why it sank.

Should age ratings be used on games like they have on DVDs
Definitely, the problem is that they wont, due to a fear of loss of sales.

So to summarise all of my points. Games are fun, and yes some of them teach you good things and some of them dont, and i'm sure a few of you will tell me that there is something good other games, I for one prefer games where i can sit back and jump when something jumps out infront of me.
