Violence & Video Games.

I do not believe that violence in video games makes you a violent person. I play Call of Duty from time to time and ill admit i do get angry and really mad. But when I'm done with it I'm not a mean person. But then again i could just be part of the statistics that don't get affected in everyday life from these games. I do know a couple of friends that have become more mean and hostile after playing these games all day. They get mad really easy, and seem to get mad at little things that normally don't bother people. So i guess I'm caught in the middle with this argument. I'm pretty sure that the majority of people would say that violent video games do have an effect on the the kids who play them, because of how more and more violent these games are becoming. And how lately kids have been so disrespectful, get little attitudes, and try to act like they are big and tough. But as of the question should war be portrayed in video games? I say yes it should. War is a very interesting topic that attracts people to it. They are also very entertaining games to play. War is also demonstrated really good in the Call of Duty games. Not the online multi-player, but the Campaign. It seems to be pretty on point. It also shows you how easy it is for your character to die, and that's just in a video game. Its even easier in real life to die.   Both Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2, and Call of Duty: Black Ops, portray the Afghan war, and the Cold war. As I play I feel as if I am there in the war in that time period. They are really good games and i enjoy them.
