Separation from Reality

There has been a growing concern as people have tried to mimic some of their favourite games and has result in tragic endings. Some examples of this are games that include things such as, stealing cars, racing, violence and even murder. An example of this is the game "Manhunt" in which you play a character in a strange and dangerous situations, this was also related to a murder in the UK after someone playing the game was claimed to be obsessed with the game. People attempting to mimic games usually never has a good outcome and that it is important to display warnings in games. An example is racing games having a generic warning to not race cars unless your on a race track.
