call_of_duty_4_modern_warfare_2A video game coming out next month called “Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2” apparently allows players to be able to shoot innocent civilians in an airport in a realistic rendering of a terrorist attack. This was revealed in footage leaked from the video-game a few days ago. The game shows a face off against a terrorist threat designed to bring the world to the edge of collapse. The company creating the game said that they want the players to be emotionally attached and shocked. Gamers are warned the scene may be disturbing and they can choose not to play through the part. This upcoming game and others displays a trend to make video games as close to reality as possible. With rich realistic visuals and quickly developing computer graphics, video games are anticipated to offer a unique opportunity to step into a new kind of reality. Activision Blizzard Inc. expects the game to be one of the highest sellers and most profitable games in the history of entertainment. I look forward to the day when they also offer an intellectual as well as visual challenge.
