In the documentary featuring Charlie Booker many issues were discussed about video games. The different genres of games were explained, with examples throughout gaming history. These included: platformer, first person shooter, MMORPG, puzzle, shoot 'em ups, beat 'em ups, amongst others.
One of the main points of the documentary was that gamers are often seen as teenagers who have nothing better to do with their time. As games got increasingly more violent, parents began to worry about the effects of that games had on their children. Games like Grand Theft Auto allow the player to get involved in crime such as murder or reckless driving, which many thought would cause confusion for players between what is reality and legal and what is illegal. This has caused gaming as a whole to be rejected from society.
