With all the talks about the ban on games that supposedly incite violence, which I disagree, I decided do look for the real violent and sick games around the web. Games that are not banned, and are accessible to kids of all ages. After my search, I wondered about the commitment of the people that are trying to take this ban laws ahead. Because as we all can see if this is the right way to go, there is a lot of work to do.
Kill Barney:
A website where your objective is to kill Barney, The Purple dinosaur. You choose the weapon of your election and just take care of Barney.
Barb-Jump:
The objective in this "sport" game is to jump Barb Wire. If you miss the jump you will lose limb by limb. But hey! All for the Sport!
These are just small examples, but you can find millions online.
Recent studies have declared that violent games relax people, turning them less violent, more relaxed and calm. Not long ago I saw the statistic of violent crime in the USA and it has lowered year after year. But if you listen to the people that want to ban violent games, you will think it's the other way around.
Let's face it. It is just not true. When you are at work, and your boss is on your nerve, you want to hit him. But you don't. But still you need to cool down. Many people go to the gym; others go and play violent games. They both seem to work. It would be far worst if we didn't have anything to relieve our anger on.
