Summary/Abstract: With the raising need of perceiving videogames as serious medium, one of the point of view is to see into games in terms of seeing them as a receivers and reflections of various influences from the culture, media, political or social situation. Paper deals in these structures, it places emphasis on positive reflections and it results in raising question if this relationship of impact works counteractively; if games have the power of “regular” media, how they shift the debate, how much influence do they have and why do we hear mostly just about their impact on the individual.
