Who knows why their are such violent games.  I, personally, won't play any violent game.  I like fun games that don't have anything to do with blood or hurting another person.

Some people are just dumb enough to play those kinds of games.  Yeah, they are violent, but I like Call of Duty and Halo.  You're right about Manhunt and GFA, though.  Manhunt 2 almost got an adults only.  To make it ok they needed to cipher out the really bad stuff.  What was creepiest about Manhunt 2 is that it came out on halloween in 2007! (shivers)

I don't think it's a really big deal. I actually think it helps out people. It can get rid of stress or help you get through a rainy day.

I agree with Alex. Some people think violent video games corrupt the mind but it's actually a good way to blow off steam. Would you want people to take their anger out on real people or fake people in games?

There are a few games that make GTA and Gears of War look like the Telly Tubbies. The one that sticks out in my mind is Postal for the PC., but also Thrill Kill, Carmagedon and Vivisector take the violence to the extreme.

They sell well and make a lot of money?  There is no corruption, just business. If we didn't buy them, they wouldn't make them.

So much fun. Would you rather play Assassins Creed wihch I can't wait for number 2 or play Hello Kitty? ASSASSINS CREED ALL THE WAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Gears of War is when Humans and Aliens discover themselves. They start attacking us and we nuke them. That sounds more interesting than us discovering eachother, then offering our books and knowledge and solving eachother's problems.

Violent video games are awesome. Would you rather people release their anger in video games by killing fake people or harming people in real life?

They make video games violent because they are fun. I completely agree with Gee, K. Games such as Saints Row don't encourage people to act as they do, that would be unrealistic. Because of arguments like this, they have age ratings!

I love Gears Of War and I Love Call of Duty World at War !! This play is violent video game but there are very good !!

I find that violent videogames are made because they sell well and everyone enjoys them. When it comes down to it at least 99% of the games you don't think are violent really are. Unless you want us to play mini-putt and Uno on the 360 then violence is prevalant. Even most sports games have violence in them, and if you play KH you know that you run around and beat things to death with a blunt object, I think that's violent. If I remember correctly the game case even says "Cartoon violence" or something close.

Hello, I am Ian from the US .

I would like to say (with all respect) that "they maybe want kids to become violent adults" can't possibly be the reason why.

This is how I look at it:

I play Violent Video Games for 1 Reason: To blow off steam.

If I have a bad day at school , I'll call up a few friends and have a LAN party on Postal2: Bring the Pain and blow everyones brains out . They have a good time, I do.

What do you think?
Write me back.

Video games dont kill people, it's for people that want to blow off steam without actually harming a living creature.

That is a simple question with a simple answer: corruption.
