Your Decisions

            In present day gaming there are now games that allow you to have total control on the outcome of the game.  Instead of there being a basic line that has to be followed like the classic form of video games, they are asking for the gamer to answer questions which can effect the game in the future. In the article The Good, the Bad, and the Moral: An Exploration of Ethical Questions in the Gaming World by Stephen Beirne it says that the popularity of these types of games is increasing rapidly. I think its pretty cool that video games are trying to make a change and actually try to challenge the gamer and make them decide on certain things that can affect you in the long run.  On the other hand I think it may make some big time gamers frustrated when all they want to do is play this new cool video game, but it just takes way to much time and effort to play. In my opinion I don’t think games are very fun at all, when I want to play a video game all I want to do is throw it in and start playing until I loose or get sick of it. When the game starts to throw questions at you and slows up the pace of it, that’s where I loose interest and no longer have interest in the game.
