Although I used to enjoy quake2 when I was young, I don't feel the appeal of shooting games anymore, or videogames in general. That is to say, I have been on both sides of the fence and I still vividly remember the sweaty excitement of a deathmatch. Now, my first impression to this and to other AR (and VR) demos is, "Isn't this literally a new Columbine waiting to happen?". (NOTE: I do not mean the incident, those seem to happen regardless, I mean the public outcry and witch-hunting). Has public perception of interactive violence shifted to a point where "it's not different from an action movie after all", even at this new point of immersive realism?
