In recent years there have been plenty of cases of music, people, games, etc, being used as scapegoats so authorities can jump to conclusions about violent events and blame these as the main reason for such an event to take place.

Nowadays violence in video games is up to the level of killing people as the norm with many popular titles having this apart of the game. In many games that is the one of the main features that add together to create the game. Some game titles that include violence and killing are ‘Call of Duty,’ ‘Halo,’ ‘Grand Theft Auto,’ ‘Mass Effect,’ ‘Battlefield,’ ‘Counterstrike: Global Offensive,’ and ‘Doom.’ All of these games main storylines include the need to attack and kill to progress forward (Mainly with guns). But does this create a bad effect on people? Is this making people more likely to be violent? Even kill in real life? This is the particular ethical issue that violence in video games is having.

First quote is “A patient wears a virtual-reality headset during a therapy session.” That means virtual reality is being used for therapy. 2nd quote is “Technology that immerses users in artificial, but strikingly realistic, experiences is poised to move beyond flight simulators and other specialized training applications into games, health care, education and mental health therapy, to name a few uses.” Those are more uses to virtual reality, and one I said in an earlier quote. The final quote for this thing is “Programmers can now create an array of lifelike sensations: flying like a bird, fighting off predators, riding a roller coaster or climbing a mountain.” This is why it is called “virtual reality.” It can simulate almost anything so far.

The Nintendo Virtual Boy was a virtual reality system that let the player be fully immersed in their gameplay experience. The Virtual Boy was also released in America on August 14. Its commercials told about the 3D gaming experiences but because of the way it was made, it was hard to show gameplay of the games of the console. It hurt the sales of Nintendo a bit but the company was not fazed by this loss. Some games for the Virtual boy include: Mario Tennis, 3D Tetris and Galactic Pinball. Of course, Sega was trying to keep up within this heavy

I’ve been playing video games and watching various forms of animation for years. I started to play video games on my Sega Genesis, like Sonic the Hedgehog and Phantasy Star. From then on, I advanced in gaming platforms and experienced games from Nintendo since the Nintendo Entertainment System (NES) and from Sony on the first PlayStation. I spent countless hours playing video games. However, I also spent a fair amount of time watching animation. I’d wake up on Saturday mornings to watch shows like Pokémon and Dragon Ball. Additionally, there was the occasional marathon of Disney VHS tapes.

In November, 1971 the first commercially targeted video game was released in America as an arcade machine called ‘Computer Space’ in which the aim of the game was to fly through 2D space avoiding UFO’s firing upon you and destroying them.

This study tests the executive control differences in regular video game players and non-video game players. Through the use of a Stroop task, subjects were tested on their reaction times when answering the direction of an arrow stimulus with either random words or dissimilar directions written across it. The incongruent directions were to cause cognitive interference, resulting in slower reaction times. Evidence suggests that regular video game players may be less affected by this form of interference. Findings indicate that the Stroop task did not create an interference effect, regardless of video game familiarity, and that there were no differences between video game players and non-video game players in Stroop task performance.

After standing in line at Best Buy for over an hour, I was finally given the chance to try a new piece of technology I had been following for several years. They fastened a thick headset over my face and I was instantly transported to a different world. Here, my hands held a bow and arrow and I began to shoot countless enemies to defend a kingdom from certain ruin. I was now a part of something that what was once fantasy and now only possible in this alternate world. These digital universes are now possible thanks to the recent introduction of Virtual Reality (VR), a piece of tech that allows the user to enter digitally created realms. The technology consists of a headset (that a user would place on their head), which covers one’s face and sight with a big thick dome. Inside that dome is a screen that projects into the user 's eyes, creating a world in which they can feel and interact in. The user can look around and touch things with their body, just like in the real world. This helps to make someone feel immersed in an alternate reality, hence the name Virtual Reality. This device has definitely had a big impact on the tech world and is a game changer to many. Because this device so new, it has yet to catch on with the general masses, leading many to think that this will not be the next “big thing.” Many believe the tech to be just another fad that will die out, as with Nintendo’s Wii and its motion gaming. Others are skeptical about possible controversies that will arise
