Most Controversial Video Games
Some of the most controversial video games ever made are thought to expose kids to extreme sexual content and violence. Many claim that video games should be heavily censored in order to protect the minds of children, even though they are exposed to graphic content in other art forms—for example, film. Still, many believe that the main difference between video games and any other medium is that when you play one, you have a direct effect on what will happen, while you only observe things when watching a movie. Now, the opinion that certain video games will make you want to behave violently is not a popular one among gamers, as most understand that developers make games in order to artistically express themselves and entertain the masses. However, sometimes certain developers simply cross the line and make something that may end up haunting the minds of any player. Whether or not you agree with the critics, these are some of the most controversial video games of all time.
