Venezuelan anger at computer game

“Venezuelan anger at computer game” is the article I read on BBC News. It was about the Venezuelan Government accused of the violent computer game produced by U.S. game entertainment company. Venezuelan President Hugo Chaves afraid that this game can motivate an invasion in Venezuela. His supporter think that this game is prepared for a real invasion in future and for use by U.S army. However, the company said that the company has no relation with U.S. Government and this game is only about entertainment.

I agree with Mr.Chavez that the game can motivate an invasion. Becase I think many computer games, including vedio and internet games, effect to our lifestyle at present. Many game entertainment companies have produced more realistic games. In a game, players can participate in the situation that look like they are staying in that situation. They can manage almost everthing in their game world. For example, in SimCity, a stimulation and city-building game, we can build and design our city. In another series of SimCity, we have a restaurant. We can decorate our restaurant, create menu, and manage our business. It seem to be the real situation that we can prepare for our business in a real world. In the same way, I think “Mercenaries2” can prepare us for a real world, too. It can possibly motivate the violence and prepare armed forces for war. Therefore, U.S. Government should have any policy to control these violent games.
