Peace with Game Violence


Peace with Game Violence - Readers, if you mention the name of RockStar Games, surely we will remember with one of the homemade games, Grand Theft Auto (GTA). The gameplay combines elements of racing, fiction, and even violence is quite popular and loved, especially among teenagers.

Players also equipped with a wide range of advanced weapons, ranging from pistols, grenades, explosives capable to meluluh-antakkan vehicles and buildings (including humans of course). The point, though in the game there are missions to complete, players are given the freedom to do things at will. Unfortunately, this innovative GTA belonging did not escape the negative outlook.

Success, which responded with a positive and negative, was intrigued enough other game developers to make a copy. Why is popular? The answer lies in the unique features carried this game. In this type of action-racing game, players are given the freedom to roam the city, racing on the road, even against the law enforcement officers who obstruct our mission.

Unlike Doom, Duke Nukem, or Counter Strike who prefers action shooting, GTA and copies even have incorporated social elements, more broadly, such as prostitution and pornography. But game developers who do not care about Thomson's appeal even more aggressively releasing games like GTA. They argue that as long as the game is still treated as mere entertainment media, and of course sell well in the market, there is no reason for them to stop.

Jack Thomson, one of the famous lawyer in America is often blamed as the cause of the GTA series rampant violence among teenagers. Not infrequently Jack include GTA and replication in case reports of violence are brought to the public. The main reason for Jack to make a kind of GTA game as one source of the violence is due to social charge - which is viewed negatively by it - that is so evident in this game.

The difference with the GTA, 25 to Life is the game online multiplayer. "Imagine SOCOM online action also taking place in the streets Grand Thef Auto," explains the initiator of this game, Denny Chiu from Eidos.

Moreover, violence can occur anywhere with the causes of diversity. So not fair that when we blame game alone as the origin of the birth of crime among teenagers. Alert. It's one of the most thoughtful gesture when you stand in the middle of these two camps. You - especially parents - intending your sons love to play games, but you also want them safe from bad influences game ala GTA.

Character models are also interactive as level-level. One more advantage of this game: its mode can be configured. Its soundtrack includes songs from Tupac, Ghost Face, DMX, and Ghetto Star. Destroy All Human (PS2, Xbox) you play as a member of Furon race, your nickname Cryptosprodium (Cryto) 137. "137" This shows that you are cloning the original 137 of Cryptosprodium. Furon can gain immortality or eternity by producing cloned.

Game action third person shooter angle of view tells resistance criminals against the police - both of which can be customized with conventional deathmatch but innovative. What's interesting about this game is the interactive environment. Unlike the shooting games in general, 25 to Life has many triggers that can alter gameplay and dynamic interactions, such as lighting which can be damaged.

You also have the skills possessed more unusual alien, "says Andrew Goldman, CEO of game developer, Pandemic." You get complete freedom in a game that combines the fun and the pursuit of this goal. "Jak 3 (PS2) It's no secret that Jak & Daxter and Jak II includes its flagship spirit Rockstar game.'s not just spirit, Jak series also follows the success of GTA. "Some gamers get lost in a city setting in the Jak series," said Amy Henning, the Design Director.

Now the race is in danger: the production is reduced due to gene cloning Furon thinning. Endangered alien race that this takes up DNA. What to do? Earth is the source of genetic material that can prolong survival Furon race. You are on a mission to Earth to seize control of the human and his DNA. Cities in Destroy All Humans seem vast, many pedestrians are vulnerable. You can explore the city freely and his style like GTA. "There are a lot of sophisticated weapons here.

London is still the main settings, plus 17 sites including the River Thames and a subway station. It's the first day Sergeant Mitchell's return to the Met (Metropolitan Police) and he had to deal with the most powerful man in London. Mitch is not the only character that can be played, there is Eddie and Sam. Each has its own reasons capability and how they are involved in the story. So, in 48 hours to advance the game is able to display three different perspectives. To finish Black Monday you have to go through 22 missions.

"In Jak 3, more focused mission. Mostly gamers can still explore the area freely, while the other players do not need to feel frustrated because of the freedom that we provide." The story begins in the heat of the desert sun is shining, a small transportation moving forward and becoming more and more obvious. Soon, Jak out of the vehicle. Crimson Guards escort an army marching through the desert Jak.

Jak was exiled for life in the desert for having committed a crime against the citizens. After walking away, Jak started to hallucinate, and the game begins! The Getaway: Black Monday (PS2) Since its first appearance, many people know that the game is inspired from the GTA series. The Getaway combines the elements of the genre action, shooter, and racing, like GTA. The sequel takes place two years after the events in the Sol Vita.


Since there are three different perspectives, the ending of this game was a variety. What is a realistic-looking ring East End. Mercenaries (PS2, Xbox) As its title suggests, Mercenaries requires the player to act as soldiers / mercenaries (mercenary) who offered many job opportunities. Players facing unexpected threats that caused the country was in danger. North Korea's prime minister recently replaced by a power-hungry general, Sung.

Sung began to threaten the world with nuclear weapons attack. As mercenaries from America, Britain, or Sweden, you are allowed to choose the pattern and the pay. After that you fly to North Korea to find the 52 offenders who disrupt North Korea's new regime. As with any applicable rules of the game in the GTA, Mercenaries freeing you to do anything or kill anyone you want to go in accordance with the chosen mission. Safety Tips For Families If you find these games, I personally recommend to pay attention to the following:

1. Enable the "Parental Control" on the console that lets you limit what games can be run console. If you sekubu with Jack Thomson, you must block access to games labeled M via parental control. Do not forget to write down a long block code and store it in a safe place.

2. Usually such games GTA labeled M (Mature), meaning that this game is only intended for adult consumption. But often these games are also labeled T (Teenage), which means teens can afford to play. Whatever the label, you should treat them as a game labeled M, and thoroughly examines a collection of games that want to buy.

3. Dealing with the third point, the authors do not recommend games labeled M consumed by children under the age of adolescence, as the understanding and awareness of the positive and negative acts is still too unstable. Should limit them to just take the game labeled E (Everyone).

4. If you still want a family member playing a game labeled M, the game should be played together. Assisting parents can also be used as a means of education for the children who play it. Here parents can explain the positives and negatives of the game is being played, and stressed that the world is different from the real-world game.
