I in no way believe violent video games cause real violence. I don't support censorship or hysteria.

On the other hand, I find them really disturbing. I'm not a hardcore gamer, but I feel there's a point where graphics and sound have gotten so good that murdering a simulated human being in a game these days is worlds away from shooting cartoon Nazis in Wolfenstien 3D.

I recently played a little "Batman- Arkham City." Awesome gameplay, but for whatever reason the violence, sexuality, and language were all maxed out far beyond what you'd expect from any aspect of the Batman franchise.

Not sure I have a specific point. Thoughts?
