Grade 10 Journal Entry # 3

War games such as Call of Duty, Battlefield or CounterStrike are so popular now. The reason why they are popular is because most war games are usually online game and there are more than a million people playing these games at the same time. The other reason is because they are realistic and it requires a lot of strategies such as team work and aiming skill if it is a gun game.

"If it's not realistic, it's not worth playing,"
People are saying this because these games look real and it is like you are really in a war, so I think war games will desensitive people to the horror of war in real life. In game, you just have to kill and your enemy will spawn and kill you back. But in real life, war is way different from this. If you died, you died. There is no such a thing like spawning and play again. When young children is playing these kind of games, they might get violent because they are used to what is happening in the game.

I think these games good for people who want to experience war but don't be addicted to it, because it might make people go violent.
