Video Games : The Grand Theft Auto Franchise

One of the biggest controversial cases among parents and children is, whether to allow them to play violent video games. Many people often assume that these intense games have a direct correlation to becoming a violent person. While many people agree with this, the research is not 100% accurate. This makes it very hard to find proof that a violent video game is one of the leading causes of a violent person. We are often blaming these games for a more internal complex problem.

Although, seeing as video games are increasingly popular today, not everyone met as unfortunate of a fate. Today, many could credit this to the video game development corporation known as Atari, which arose in 1972 and continuously flourished until about 1982. In 1972, Atari came out with PONG, the first electronic arcade game, and it was an enormous accomplishment that exploded into what is now called the electronic gaming revolution. As time passed, Atari managed to triumph over its competition time and time again, but that is not to say that each of the failed corporations did not feature something that is used today. In fact, a couple of the failed organizations contributed something original to what is common today. For instance, Fairchild Camera and Instrument creating the first system that could play several different games, rather than just one. Another aforementioned group, RCA, was the first to produce and utilize keypad controllers instead of paddles or joysticks. Other consoles that came along, such as Intellivision and Vectrex, sported better graphics than the Atari’s consoles and games, but they still did not manage to gross the amount of money that Atari did because Atari was still on top of collecting all of the most entertaining and enjoyable games of their time. Keep in mind what attracted the masses to video games in the past: fun and addictive gameplay, not how good they looked. Now that the principal eras of gaming have been

Stories, visual art forms and music are contained in video games to help provide entertainment. There are few other mediums that utilize all of the art forms used in video games. Video games have been accepted as its own art form in modern society. Inside the Smithsonian American Art Museum there is a video game exhibit that showcases the progression of video games. More artists can thrive in today’s world now that a new art form exists. Video games have positively influenced our culture, for it allows artists to express themselves and inspire creativity in others.

Grand Theft Auto is a title that everyone knows. It’s the name of a series of games that helped define a generation, and in the 12 years since the third core game in the series helped push gaming into a larger spotlight.

GTA V is a loaded with excite and experience computer game. GTA V is produced by the Rock star North in 2009.It was distributed by Rock star Games. It is an activity diversion either by single and multiplayer shooting amusement. Player of this amusement can proceed onward foot and vicheals and in show.

As a result, the controversies flared up again with Grand Theft Auto III, since the 3D graphics made the violence more realistic, and players could pay the services of prostitutes to recover their health, and if they wished, killing them to get some of their money back. This has a criticism that focus on illegal activities in comparison with traditional "heroic" roles that other games offer. The main character can commit a wide variety of crimes and violent acts while dealing with only temporary consequences, including the killing of policemen and military personnel.

Video games will rot your brain!’ ever heard that saying before? Many in the under-30 generation have heard that sometime in their childhood. In fact, video games don’t rot your brain but, improve brain skills and cognitive thinking. “The most popular games are not simply difficult in the sense of challenging manual dexterity; they challenge mental dexterity as well,” (Source F). Video games became popular in the early 1980’s, and even then video games weren’t nearly as difficult and advanced as they are now. Meaning that most of the over-30 generation never grew up with this upper hand advantage, they never learned the cognitive thinking that this generation did. The internet became popular during the 1990’s over the past 26 years it has connected

Throughout the decades, the gaming community evolved as technology progressed and was able to create new technology. Due to the advancement of the gaming community, it allowed video games to grow and become advance. Even though some of the advancement may include better source engines, better coding but that doesn't mean a good or an outstanding game will be produced. Recently a new product has been introduced to PC and the new gen console, a video game called Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six Siege by Ubisoft. But this game is a unique, promoting to give a real world and realistic point of view of a counter terrorism unit; but in the outcome of the game it was able to separate itself from the other FPS (Firs Person Shooting) game, it was able to

Some gamers out there readily embrace these new IPs but they are definitely not the majority. Because so much attention is given to the sequels, most franchises have become extremely reliable. Unless it's a franchise that tries too many new things with each of its sequel (e.g. Final Fantasy, Banjo) or unless it's just too samey all the time (e.g. Dynasty Warriors, Roller Coaster Tycoon), a video game series usually is safe to bet on for yet another great interactive experience.

In the popular imagination, the number one draw of virtual reality was the shock, the amazement, the sheercoolness of being able to plug into a make-believe world and experience it as if you were actually in it. From Pong to Galaga all the way up to the best first person shooters, gamers crave game space that functions like the holodeck on Star Trek. With the highly anticipated, audacious and award-wining release of Grand Theft Auto 4, or GTA 4, the wholly open virtual world is much closer than ever.

In the world of video games there’s more vast stories, better graphics, more controls etc. Back when digital games started simple games such as Pong existed. Since then games have became more sophisticated. When you normally refer to game it’s usually games such as modern warfare, Grand theft Auto, or Halo, we often don’t think of games such as Sorry, Shoots and Ladders, or even Yatzi anymore.

Also gaming has never been so accessible to the people! Alot of the older generation would not agree since gaming has always been a “waste of time” but movies or books are always something to do? the younger generation of gamers have yet to recognize gain as more than a source of adrenaline or the rush of dopamine from more simplistic games but a source of great storytelling that reaches a spot that has not been reached yet in entertainment. I am extremely passionate with gaming and my only want in life is too develop a game that cross two very separate elements together and create a new genre of gaming. When gaming was first made it was just a place for people too have fun and some competition but in recent years the term “Video Games” has very different definitions in terms of what it is in the world now. Some people play just too play. Some have made YouTube accounts where in one case make 8 million a year by simply playing games, being funny, and posting videos of them playing. Some competitive players are PROFESSIONAL ATHLETES. Hard to believe but professional poker players are in the same

For the past few weeks, I vividly dreamt about my home from the past. Subconscious feelings of homesickness made me deeply miss what I had abandoned as a result. The same dream occurred every night, I was enthusiastically moving out of home roughly a year ago and was deciding what to bring and leave behind. I went through the enormous record collection I had, the only materials I ever collected. Each album represented to me a lifetime of memories, therefore provoking the powerful rush of nostalgia. The first moments playing a Grand Theft Auto game exposed me to classics such as Michael Jackson’s ‘Billie Jean’, it had introduced a world of timeless music that inspired me to become a musician. Harmony with instruments was the most ambiguous

Video games in today’s society have become very popular. Every new game that comes out to be played and conquered by the average gamer has its own category. There are several other types of genres of games that people play but because of big hit titles and the new popular game systems like the Xbox 360 and Playstation 3, people become more interested in a game that is well known than a game they have never even heard of before. Every game has its own storyline and own way of how it unfolds and where the game ends according to game play. Some of the biggest reasons people sway to certain genres of games is because of the game titles released under them and the demand of people who want a good game under that category. The top three most
