We had watched the last part of the Games Britannia documentary and in this episode the main focus was on computer games.
One of the main games that was being talked about in this episode was the Grand Theft Auto series, mainly Grand Theft Auto IV, they used this game to raise some points about morality in video games as in the Grand Theft Auto series players are allowed to roam around a virtual city and cause havoc and chaos, players are allowed to do what they want, when they want and this is why the game brings up some points of morality as players are not really limited to what they do so it is up to them to decide if what they are doing is morally correct or not. Although there is also a story that players are allowed to play through which develops the characters and gives them some back story, most players will instead spend most of their time roaming around the city doing what they want.
Another game that was mentioned in this episode is the Little Big Planet series, this game is a lot different to the Grand Theft Auto series as Little Big Planet is aimed more towards children and players who like to be creative. It allows players to create what they like with a number of tools, it also allows other players to the play these levels that players make.
