This isnt really breaking news just another article as the release date for a new game Resident evil 5 comes out. that games setting is in rural Africa taking place mostly in villages that are destitute and run down. not only this but the main enemy of the game are African American effected with some sort of sickness. No doubt ou have already picked out the problem with this.

The game and director have undergone all sorts of heat for making this particular choice about the game. It also brings into question of what video games actually are? are they art? and we should view them as such? or are they a form of entertainment only meant to stimulate? seeing the naked figure of a model on a gallery wall we do not think that is is pron. we start to talk about the line or the light in the picture. Should a video game not be viewed the same way? Naturally there will be nah sayers who tell us the violent video games are responsible for all our our worlds problems *cough*bullshit*cough*. but it's just something to think about.
