Updates

 

I will start of by talkin about the updates of this years top selling games and games consoles. Some of the best selling games of 2012 have been about war or physical violence. This is obviously a popular choice because everyone seems to be buying them, but what is it about these games that gets people so addicted to them. "Black Ops 2" is one of the most talked about games, which is a war game. Released in november 13th people world wide were queing outside shops in order to be the first ones to play this game. The features on the game are what people are going mad about. For example the new zombies on this game are the reason why half the people have bought it. Moving on to "Assassins Creed III", once again it is another violent game about going around assassinating people as it says in the title obviously. FIFA !3 is on for the football fans. People are talking about their ultimate team and what their favorite players are and everything.So what is it about these games that is making people go crazy?

Addiction

 

People are becoming more and more addicted to these games as they take days off school and work to play them al day long. This could lead to them loosing friends as the have no social life and dont want to see anyone because they are addicted to their game. This will lead to them loosing their job meaning they will struggle in life.

 

Impacts

 

The impacts of this is very dangerous. On 22nd of July 2011 a man named Anders Breivik bombed a government building in Norway and carried out a mass shooting killing 77 children and adults. He said that he trained himself for it by using Call Of Duty giving himself the knowledge on ways to kill people and how to use the guns in such a terrible way. Also a few years back a young boy, after playing on the 18 rated game "Grand Theft Auto", went around and stabbed innocent people just from what he had seen on the game. Children of young ages who are playing games that are rated 18 are becoming more violent toward their parents. They would ask them to get off their console and the children would get angry and violent and refuse to get off.
