The appeal of violent computer games

A new video game being released today is expected to be the fastest-selling video game ever. Call of Duty Modern Warfare 2 has been described as realistic and violent.

Players can join a group of terrorists rampaging through an airport building killing people as they cry for help.

James Binns, a computer game publisher, and Marc Cieslak, reporter for BBC technology programme Click, discuss the game's appeal.
