I agree.
I'd never do that.
though you do wander if games ever became as real as the world
outside them that would be a problem.
I like playing some of those game to blow off steam but I wouldn't
just get a gun and start shooting.

playing the games. That's where self control and or supervision at a
young impressionable age are necessary.

I don't think games have to be about killing people. Killing
monsters and zombies is fine. :) Or you could make it somewhat
abstract and have to react to something in a split second. Change
reaction comes to mind. It has some elements of both a puzzle and a
shooter. I play that game quite a bit, too.

I am not sure how the genre of games are classified, but I do know
one thing for certain, there has been a lot of controversy about
violence and stuff like that over games like this, and in my
previous research I discovered that the long you are exposed to it,
the more hard-wired it is going to be in your brain.
Also, there is an upside to this. It allows you to increase and
boost your decision-making mechanisms. On a television news cast I
watched one day they discovered that people who played these kinds
of games had shorter reacting time to real-life threats.
In conclusion, violent games should not be played to any extreme
that it will force your attitudes to change, but should be played
at a level of moderation.
