War Games!!!!

Why are these games so popular?Different types of war games exist that provide different experiences to the player.Strategic war games ,place the player in a positon of authority,with which you dictate to your troops and watch the results of these actions from the sidelines.Other war games,place the player on the battlefield, assuming the role of an individual soldier in the fight for survival.Im my experience of war games nothing gets you as immersed in a game as you do when you play these types of games.Sweaty palms,beating chest,the rumble of the gamepad as a bullet slices through your body,all of which are encountered whilst experiencing what these games have to offer.However there is a dangerous side to the development of games that exhibit acts of war.These games promote the concepts of power and domination,giving the player an ability that only god should possess,the power to take a life!

Another topic dicussed this week,was that of seroius games.Games that dampen down the entertainment side of games and utilise games to educate the player on a serious topic.
With an ever growing population of gamers,these "serious games" are an excellent way to inform people on a wide range of real world situations.
