Recently, I acquired, and was told no to play, a free to play, online, first person shooter. The game itself is fairly simple, There are 3 factions, with you choosing which one you want to join. from there you can group up with your online buddies or random others, and work together to take over areas in a hexagon based map. some 'tiles" are 'worth" more that others, for instance some places allow you to create cars, tanks, or even planes. It's all future based, and to minimize lag, your shield flashes when you get hurt, In other words, there is no blood. My mom who is strongly apposed to violent games of any sort, saw the gun, and said that I was to not play it again. I thought about this and now I wonder, What makes a game violent? Is it the blood? The weapons? The idea of a war? The reason I ask this is because, it is rare for there to be a game that has no violence on the market nowadays, and those that are, don't do very well in sales. I have another game, "Garry's Mod" which combines characters from different games into one "sandbox" style game. It has weapons, blood, etc just like the other games, but should the creative part make it OK? In my opinion, it can be considered violent if there is blood, weapons, or just strait up excessive amounts of blood. I would like to hear your guy's opinions on the matter, so speak up!

Yes I agree, any game where the goal or intent of the game is to hurt someone/something else is in my opinion a violent video game
