I can't understand why people blame videogames for everything that goes wrong in this world, video games are a surreal experience, they show a life on the screen and it is your role as the player to act out this life, that is the whole point of videogames surrealism. So why do (mainly the press) bad mouth these games so much and explain to their readers that if their kids play violent games, they will become homicidal maniacs, why?. GTA3 is no more as violent and worring as Super Mario if you think about it, GTA3 has guns and police but Mario has a large plumber who gets more powers if he eats a mushroom (hmmmmm) and kills creatures by jumping on them. i believe that the point of videogames is to deter you from doing these things, as
it shows in GTA3 that if you shoot people you will be caught and you might die. So Mr and Mrs Press people don't blame videogames as it helps this world be a safer place.

People, please write your feelings on the matter as i would be most interested, thanks
