FPS/Visceral fun

There is a pretty good article about the more mind-less/violent video games and their role. The article is short and to the point and seems to ring true with me in a lot of ways. I find the games I fire up these days tend to be these types since I rarely dedicate more then 30 minutes a week on video games. Mild escapism I guess.

Best quote:

When your boss asks you what you did on the weekend, are you gonna tell him you spent 10 hours shooting at already-dead bodies during slow-mo mode in Half-Life 2 just so you could play physics experiments with them?

Okay, I am glad I am not the only fool guilty of the things mind-less pleasures such as the one above.
