first let me say that this is just my view on how to make games a bit better.

Good guys, damn! i am so sick of picking up games and reading the background story to find out that once again i am expected to be the good guy. What is this fairy tale happy ending preoccupation? it's nonsence,it's dull and it's repetative. What if i don't want to save the world ?What if i happen to feel would be more fun to destory it ? i want to be a terrorist not stop one. I dont want to kill the monsters i want to be a monster i mean why do games like gta and carmageddon sell so well, despite so many people trying to stop us playing them ? people dont always want to be good. In fact thinking about it there are very few instances where being bad. lets face it, the guardians ofour delicate moralities are always going to accuse evil video games of corrupting the youth of today, so the way i see it we might as well give them something to moan about.The more sensitive game players out there can charge about safe in the knowledge that they are on the side of good, killing only the bad monsters that deserve it anyway.Their collective consciousness is eased by the fact that they are on the side of goods. Well what kind of twisted logic is that and more importantly, it's drumming a false sence of security into the impressionable youth that anyone who fights on the side of good will never be beat. Trouble is games that promote evil are deemed bad and unsuitable for society. Child of six can walk into a newsagents and buy a copy of the sun ans see naked women and death. but you can't buy mortal kombat till you are 15. Sorrt i don't want to murder maim and kil to my hearts desire and i hope that im not the only one.so all i can say now is bring on gta4 and mortal komat 3 with some good stuff for us to get into i mean how many people play gta and then go out and whack someone with a baseball bat not many if any and those kids that are older know the difference between reality and fantasy even though in emerica you look on the news and its allway abot shootings or stabbings or you go around where you live and theres drugs so i think that the games dont make this happen its the people.
