25 to Life (Violent Video Game)

Growing up I didn't play many video games probably because when I was younger there weren't many "girly" video games out there. One game I did play though is Super Nintendo Mario. I think everyone can agree this is one of the greatest video games ever even though it is old school. I didn't feel violent while playing it even though I was throwing fire balls and killing different types of creatures to get to the next round. Today video games have progressed and have become more violent then the ones of the past. Video games like Grand Theft Auto have come out since then giving the illusion that stealing and shooting people is only fun. In Grand Theft Auto you can even commit suicide by jumping out of the helicopter. The main question remains, are video games going to far with violence? Today the Grand Council of Guardians have taken games off the shelves like the game 25 To Life. This is one of the most violent video games consisting of gangs and cops. The object of the game is killing and seeing what you can get away with. In the game you choose to be either a cop or a gangster. The whole game consists of blowing up things, picking up prostitutes, and shooting and setting cops on fire. To kids this is very realistic looking and is not always taken as a game. If i was much younger I don't know what I would think of this game considering what I did play at the time. Now that I am older I can distinguish the imaginary to reality but if I was much younger I'm not positive that I would. This is a clip I found on the video game 25 To Life. Enjoy!
