Violent Video Games

     This is my first post so I want it to be beneficial. I am not going to talk about a new game or something.
 I want to talk about video games and their effects on players ( especially on teens).
    

• Gran Turismo 5 Prologue (5.20 million)
• Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 (4.8 million approximately; 3.531 million in the US,244.578 and 25.268 The Best in Japan, at least 1 million in UK)
• Uncharted 3: Drake's Deception (3.8 million)
• Uncharted 2: Among Thieves (3.8 million)
• MotorStorm (3.31 million)
• Call of Duty: Black Ops (3.269 million units approximately; 3.094 million in the US, 175,813 in Japan)
• Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots (3 million 1.97 million approximately; 1.076 million in the US, 706,461 in Japan, 200,000 in UK)

     Here is an information from wikipedia that shows the top-selling games for Playstation. As you can see there are many violent  games in the list and we all know that ultra-violent ones are always the top-sellers. From an article of Dr. Phil I learned that there is an avarage of 13 hours of game-playing for boys and 5 hours for girls per week. Think about a child shooting people 13 hours per week. It is normal that the game's reality will take place in child's reality and he is going to consider in-game things as normal. "A recent content analysis by the research organization Children Now shows that a majority of video games include violence and about half of the violent incidents would result in serious injuries or death in the "real" world."

According the American Psychological Association, violent video games can increase children's aggression and another danger is that there are no conseqences in video games because instead of going to jail for doing bad things there are lots of games that you earn points by doing bad things like shooting or stealing. Finally we should care about these facts because we all know children and we shouldn't let them play games which are going to harm them and we should teach them that there is a reason for having age-limits on the games.

Intro

          Hi my name is Ekrem and this my blog. I am passionate about games since I had my first tetris. I always loved to playing games. Over my phone, computer, Atari or Playstation. I am going to write about games because there is a lot to write about games and it is a topic that everyone likes.
 

Video games are very popular because,  unlike the books or movies you control the characaters so a person who is able to play games will do it because when I think of someone who is not playing that because he/she is not able to play them or talented.  The point that they are popular is the reason that there are many web pages and blogs about them and another reason is that game fans are good with the technology so they are also able to follow or find stuff about games from the internet so it makes the blogs always useful and succesful not like a blog about knitting sweaters because knitting and technology are like opposite things. There are popular blogs about games writing reviews, walkthrought or uploading game-play videos. “Thatvideogameblog” and “Gamersplanet”  are popular ones and I also use them. The fact that is going to make my blog different is that I never saw a gamers blog that includes articles about how games effects peoples lives and that articles will be the difference. I am also going to focus on how games effect people so it won’t be a blog with only game reviews.
