Before I say anything, I'm going to say that I too am against FPS games. With that, there is a common misconception that M-rated games are the cause of violence in kids nowadays. This may or may not be correct. People do fail to consider the dozens of other factors that count towards a child's behavior, like how they're raised and the environment they grow up in, with video games being only one part of that.

As for the reason why FPS games are so popular right now is simply because of the bandwagon effect. Just like what happened with the Guitar Hero games, they come, stay for a few years, and disappear. In the next year or so, I expect some other genre of games to pop up and become popular. Though I still expect a lot of people to play violent M-rated games when they shouldn't...

Unfortunately, for kids at that age, their thinking capacity isn't really up to snuff. It  only really makes sense for them to go to something thats almost entirely on-your-feet, action oriented like FPS games.  And like you said, they're kids, so it makes them feel "cool" when they get a killstreak in the COD games or they get a double or triple kill in halo reach. I do like halo reach, i will admit that, but RPG's, fighting games, platformers all offer other experiences that i could never get from and FPS, therefore i'd never turn my back on those genres. 

Really though, it's just a bunch of kids trying to seem tough or cool. In a real life situation they would freak at the thought of a gun pointed at them.

I seem to find kids in playing Call of Duty more than any other shooter.  This makes me kind of irritated because they are at a young age and they are learning about violence and stuff too early and learning how to be little jerks on the Internet.  I am not someone who thinks that video games cause people to be violent but I think they are too young to be revealed to this stuff at like the age of 4-5.  I had to be like 10 or 11 before my parents let me play war games.

I don't like First Person Shooters either, but I dislike them for a different reason.  My reason is that most of them are generic clones of the previous game.  Call of Duty is a prime example of this.  Every year they release another game, and it is almost exactly the same as the one before it.  Also, about the violence.  I feel that in general, kids should not be sheltered from mature subjects too much.

Yeah, I think that these games are just so dang stupid. I think there is no need for them! I only like one of them and it is a classic, that being GoldenEye007, it is the only good one.

I am sorry to say this to you guys but you do not have a good taste of good games, FPS's are one of the most played games out there on the entire internet  so you have to get use to FPS frenzy or you should just get off the internet, also FPS can mean frames per second, so this "word" can mean either thing.

Legs_Ftw :
Not everyone has to like FPS on the Internet. And most people on the Internet that play FPS are Trolls or just whiny little kids.
Play fallout for a example. It has shooting in it. Yes. But it has a point and it does not have simple combat and it has RPG elements. FPS are the same things over again.
If you can not take a little criticism. Get off the Internet.

Bobbynibbles : I understand the whole issue around that but you can't stop people from saying whatever they want, that's really up to the parents to teach them right from wrong. I agree they need to pick up other games but society has changes children into wanting to play games with graphics over games that are more about the concept...
