This might have been done before but i haven't seen it anyway.
Imagine that the year is 2012 games have beeb getting more realistic every year and governments all over
the world decide that they should be banned, seeing as they were so realistic they thought people could plan a world take over on them (ok so thats not very likely but hey thats not the point). Anyway so the world wide ban of games begins special forces start braking into houses and trashing consoles and all game software found.Games are the new hot thing on the black market, people meeting at 2am in street corners paying hundreds of pounds for the latest
handheld, or £20 for a 15min play on the latest Mario games. People are becoming more and more desperate to play on games doing whatever it takes to get hold of a console. But those who are caught illegaly playing games are taken to detention centers and forced to play hopscotch and watch the same episode of the teletubbies for hours until they are "cured".

So if games were banned in 10 years time what lengths would you go to to get hold of a game and console or what would you do instead?
How would you imagine a world without games? A better place? A worse place? Would you be able to cope in this world?

Anyway thanks for your time i know it's probably not the best post but i get some good ideas but always have a trouble getting them across in text, i'm much better at just talking face to face.

A life without videogames ? I'll be one of the first to throw myself off the highest building I can find. Afterall, only technology makes life worth living as GTA3 would say ;-))
