My two games for my first paper was "Bikini Bottom Bust Up" which was an advergame off of Spongebob Squarepants. This game is a child's game that is related to violence in a way where the main characters would karate box, or basically beat each other up. What got to me with this game was the fact that is a child's show, and it is disturbing in the way that eveytime the character gets slapped they laugh. The game is filled with bright colors, happy caribbean music, and the characters are always laughing.
The second online game is called "The Lost Spartan". This game relates to the movie 300. The tone of this game is dark and sinister. When the character thrusts his spear into the opponent, scarlet blood squirts out of it. It's a very violent game where the main goal is to kill as many Persians as possible.

I am doing my paper on Resident Evil IV. The route that I want to go with my paper in a way that shows that it is etically wrong is in it's plot. The story's plot screams 'ethically wrong'. I will emphasize:
1. How politically wrong it is. (dealing with wealth and lies). Also the characters only try to save themselves; with greed, lust, sloth. (I could even incorporate Dante's Inferno.)
2. The overall concept of the game; bringing the dead back to life. ( I even might take this through a religious perspective) I could also use different archetypes to support this.
3. Also how Salazar uses the people as a cult to support his religious beliefs.
*I actually might go religious on this paper. =P

Rare's twisted, deliciously witty 3D platformer is just as deep in design as Conker is in feces
http://ign64.ign.com/articles/163/163960p1.html .
-This article emphasizes the fact that "Conker's Bad Fur Day" is rated M for mature, and is definitly not recommended for ages 17 and below. It talk about how the character gets drunk, curses, and has sexual interactions. The article also includes how the game has movie affiliated references like the "Matrix". Overall it's supposed to be extremely funny and has good visual effects.
Review Conker's Bad fur Day
http://www.gaming-age.com/cgi-bin/reviews/review.pl?sys=n64&game=conker
This article is sums 'Conker's Bad Fur Day" as, "What started out as just another 3D action/adventure game three years ago has transformed into an adult-only comedic romp through a world filled to the brim with explicit language and outrageous scenarios.".
This article compares the game to other games and movies like Diddy Kong, Mario 64, Matrix, The terminator, and more. It also talks about the game's control and visual effects. For example, the control is difficult to manuver to show Conker's hangover level. Basically this game is ethically wrong.
