Video Game Controversy: A Visual History

Please note that the video was posted here mainly as a way for other students who did not see the presentation to view the video; the video alone doesn't do much for you if you didn't know what the presentation was about. Taken out of context, this video is of little meaning.

This is the video demonstration I used during my presentation. It includes footage from Super Mario World, Mortal Kombat II, and Counter-Strike: Source. All in-game video was recorded by myself. Since the presentation focused mainly on violence in games, the three games are provided as a demonstration of how the violence (whether comic, realistic, or somewhere in between) in games changed over time. They are NOT representative of the overall progression of violence in games; this is merely a sample of selected and notable games.
