Today while playing I decided to go on a killing spree, like so many others do. I know it is common for many players to go into a killing spree to see how many stars they can obtain before dying. This is one of the strongest reasons for why people view the game as a an ethical issue. The game gives the player unrestricted access to do any violent action that the player desires. Well after acheiving four stars (and three helicopters later) CJ died.
I believe that this form of violent behavior can also be viewed as a release from anger and fustration in daily life. In other words, I view this game as a way to release my anger by killing nonplayer characters without doing any real damage to anyone. I do however realize that other individuals may not be able to not have they're attitudes in daily life.

Today during game play I entered the city of Las Venturas, the third island in the game. The city is an obvious replication of Las Vegas and incorporates every last sinful detail of "sin city". The first mission I played in the city was working for Woozie, your triad gang associate. Woozie and CJ become business partners in a new casino.
The ethical issue at hand, atleast the one I'm experiencing, is whether the game should really be encouraging torture, which is conducted in the mission via strapping a mob thug to the hood of your car, in order to be successful. I believe does a fantastic job of getting the player to believe that these actions are neccessary to free your brother and become successful. After considering the issue it is always important to realize that the vast majority of players are not individuals who would let a game affect they're daily life and attitude.

I am very familiar with this game as I've had it almost as long as its been avaliable for sale. As many know, this game is notoriously known for its crude language and unlimited amount of violence capable in the game. For this log I started to play a game that I am halfway through (I'm at the part where CJ has just left San Fiero to meet Mike Torino in the desert).
At the start of one mission Torino blackmails CJ to work for him because he has the power to protect his brother Sweet in prison. The mission is to use an RPG(Rocket Propelled Grenade)to protect a friendly helicopter. During gameplay I actually find myself becoming fustrated and angry when I fail the mission due to firing a rocket at the friendly helicopter.
