There is a big misconception about video games that may never be clarified. Not all games are the same. My mom used to think that there were two types of games: Mario and others where you kill people. (That later changed with Left 4 Dead and created the category “others where you kill zombies”). Violent video games exist; they can look beautiful like Battlefield 3 or creepy and gory like Killing Floor. But just because SOME games have blood, curse words, critical combos and big boobs, doesn’t mean ALL of them do.
