This article is about a teenager who played the game, Grand Theft Auto, and went on a killing spree. The article explains that the 18 year old bought the game and played for hours a day, everyday. He began to think of the game as real life and shot 3 people. He claimed that, "Life is like a videogame, everybodys got to die sometime." This statement shocked me because I could never imagine playing a video game and think its like real life. I belive that violence in video games needs to be controled because if some individuals actually think this way, then their thinking needs to change.
