If games become as real as the world, what would they be? They would still
be games. If you can't tell the difference between them, you should go and
get your mind checked out. It's time for you to learn the difference. Not
you, personally, of course, but I'm speaking of anyone with the problem
differentiating between games, regardless of how realistic they are, and
real life.

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.

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.
