With a lot of consideration of war going on and Bush acting as mad as he always was ( I am not an anti-Americanist for all those Bushophiles out there)I find myself wondering whether developers are doing the right thing pushing out war games at a rate of knots. Sure they're fun, in a way, if you take no notice of current affairs, but is it the developers at fault or us?
If you have no idea what I'm talking about read on... ( that line sounds familiar...)
One could argue that developers are thoughtless, mindless beings for making violent, graphic games. But when you think about it, they're only doing it for the money they rake in from us, the Bloodthirsty General Public ( referred to as the B.G.P.) After all, it is us that fuel the making of such games. We buy and play them with such enjoyment that developers have no real choice but to make what's good for their income.
Are war games goood or bad? I say bad, but I am eager to her your opinions on the matter too.

The Mayans.
The Egyptians
The Carpathian barbarians
The Japanese
The Mongols
The Romans
The Danes
The Spanish
The French
The English
The Scottish
The Americans
The Russians
I could go on listing all of the people who have had vicious and bloody wars before the invention of electricity, let alone war games, but the above is example enough. Pretty much every nation has been involved in a war of some sort in its history, if not several. War games don't encourage nations to flap about in all-out war, nor do they encourage the general public to support such action by its nations leaders.
It's entertainment.

War games are good. I mean its not like its going to encourage world leaders to go to war.
I believe that the most popular war game in the world is Chess. It's been around for hundreds of years, and I've yet to hear of someone thinking "I'm well hard at chess, so I'll take over the world".
Books have incited that sort of mindset, but few games have.
Anyone ever read Sun Tzu's The Art of War?

Chess is good. Would you like to play me at chess some time IB?
I'm better versed at the Art of War than chess. It's never been my game.
Im not that great either, so we are about even.
"Know yourself, and know your enemy, and you will not be defeated in 100 battles"
Anyone who hasn't read the Art of War is missing out.

Is that your way of saying you dont want to play?
I certainly don't want to play while I'm at work.
