Violence in media generally comes under fire regularly from the press as it's an easy target. Videogames seem to be the form of media that garners the most attention with titles such as 'Modern warfare 2' and 'Manhunt' taking centre stage as perveyors of violence in unnecessary ways. These titles were constantly criticised on the internet and on news shows as it was teaching children that murder was ok.
Even though these games both have an '18' certificate on their covers they will inevitably become the possession of a small child by some means. However when relating violence to CGI models is there any way of suggesting that this is any different to real life killings?
