Modern violent games seem to be a way of playing out the worst possible scenarios. Actually being in that situation with guns firing would be horrible and scary. But we've made a competitive sport out of that which we try to avoid as a society - violence and destruction. Must be in our genes.
Along with the virtual gun-lovers, the best(most absurd) irony in years, that the gun lobby criticizes violent games, when most gun lobbyists would play the hell out of them! Gun enthusiasts who play video games, would play first person shooters without a doubt.
