Individual Research Topic - The Ethics of Digital Gaming

Hi everyone,

I have chose "The Ethics of Digital Gaming" for my research topic, here are some basic information for reference.

Two Games that I chose to compare in this project : Counter-Strike and Mafia

Information about Counter-Strike :
Counter-Strike is a first-person shooter in which players join either the terrorist or counter-terrorist team (or become a spectator). Each team attempts to complete their mission objective and/or eliminate the opposing team. Each round starts with the two teams spawning simultaneously. (Wikipedia)

Information about Mafia :
Mafia is a third-person shooter video game initially made for PC in 2002 (and later ported to the Sony PlayStation 2 and the Microsoft Xbox in 2004). It was developed by Czech company Illusion Softworks and published by Gathering of Developers. The game allows the player to take on the role of a mafioso who has to accomplish various missions in order to advance in the game. It received strong critical reaction and continued to maintain a loyal cult following. As of March 12, 2008, Mafia has sold 2 million copies according to Take-Two Interactive. (Wikipedia)
