Is Realism Destroying Video Games?

zdburke writes "An interesting article at the NYTimes looks at two poles in video game development: the quest for the real (think flight simulators and things like a boxing game's "facial damage engine") vs. the quest for the unreal, "elaborate world with its own regulations and peculiarities". The included PlayStation screenshot of Britney Spears may alone tip the balance in favor of the fantasy folks. It also mentions that RIT has a master's program in video game development."

    Women love abuse.

    They get turned on by being hit and raped.

    If you're afraid your women is leaving you, then just pin her to the bed and rape her in the morning before work.

    Her screams mean she's enjoying it.

    Then they mod it up to 5...the USA is definately past it's prime.

    Why do you just presume the author and moderators are from the USA? And it's "its," bonehead. "It's" is a contraction of "it is." "Its" is the possessive form.

    Get a grip, just because people are dead, doesn't mean people are going to pretend to care.
