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.

Question from Reader – Answers in Comments

I have Final Fantasy VII and Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 1 for PlayStation, but all I have is this PlayStation 2, and I know it’s backwards compatible with PlayStation 1 games. So all I am asking is do I need a PlayStation 1 Memory Card? Or what’s the deal here?

Thank You.

www.wiinintendo.net The 3DS DOES NOT show up in “3D” on camera, you have to see it in person, please visit the URL above to get our written hands on. I got some hands-on with several Nintendo 3DS titles and demos. The basic tech demo shown after Nintendo’s press conference was really cool, and it did a good job of showing the basic features of the new top screen and its 3D abilities. The best of the screenshots they showed was Zelda. After trying it on the show floor, I got my hands on ten more titles. Samurai Warriors was good. It did not go overboard with the 3D, but it felt natural. The controls were not the best, but it is only a demo. Kingdom Hearts was only a video, but it looked all right at best. Ridge Racer allowed me to actually race, which felt pretty good, but it played with my eyes a bit. I used the analog slider, which felt great. I was also able to briefly check out Resident Evil, Animal Crossing, Metal Gear Solid, Paper Mario, The Sims 3, and Kid Icarus demos. They all looked great, but because of time, I had to move on to other titles. I cannot wait to see the final products. The last demo I was able to try was an augmented reality shooter. It reminded me of System Flaw, as I was moving the 3DS around in real life to shoot spaceships with my face on them. While this was just a demo, it did prove that the 2 cameras on the front work great together to create a wonderful looking 3D environment, despite their 0.3 megpixels. Overall, the 3DS looked great, and …
