Gory Game 5 (God of War 3)

    From the title of the game, you would'nt think it's a game about fairies now would you? The release date for this game was March 16, 2010. The game is rated M; I think we know why. Each game leading up to the third one, has gotten more and more violent for each one. In the game, you play as Kratos, who's main goal is to kill Zeus and all the other Olympian gods.
     In the game, one of the things you get to do, is when, "Kratos rips off the head of Helios." The scene shows Kratos, taking the head off of the olympian god Helios, which is shown in a very graphic way. This shows that it is a violent game. The character that you are playing has to "rip" the head off of his enemy? The fact that, in todays society, violence is allowed but at a certain level. Seeing a character, that you are controlling, ripping of the head of another character in the game, with a lot of blood and gore involved in the visual, is definatly higher than today's violence level that is allowed. This concludes that the game is violent and probably shouldn't be played too much.
     But to others, the game is considered to not be violent. On this site, one argues that because the game is humorous, you laugh, so when the violence happens, your laughing about it, not even minding how bad the violence actually is, making the game "not violent." Just because one is laughing when playing it, doesn't change the level of violence in the game, in my opinion. Even though while you are playing it, you might not notice the violence, the game is still violent, and shouldn't be played too much, or even, at all.
