In one court you have the mindset that the games are just media and they are no more than entertainment value. With that thought process you have to consider the same could be said about games that have violent, graphic or pornographic content.

Who doesn't love a good challenge? If everything was easy, there would be no joy in getting it done. In the realm of video games, the late 1980s and 1990s were the perfect era of "get good" gaming with multiple big-named titles that put a player's skills to the test. The Super Nintendo, one of

How do you link a psychological reaction to a religion?
