It is believed that a vividly imagined event can be as powerful as actually being part of that event, and this is used in several types of therapy (and sports psychology) in order to get results out of people. As videogames become more realistic (and potentially immersive) what kind of impact does performing violent acts really have on a person? I'm not saying these games should be banned, but I don't think it is wrong for people to question their impact. |
You mean like movies are now? Movies like Hostel seem to be far more realistic than games out now and likely even for the foreseeable forture.
