"In violent computer and computer games, the child player needs to perform acts of violence to achieve the end goal of the game (for example to use an electronic gun to kill opponents)."

This is just a list of references. You need to make it into a narrative. Here is the example of how to write a literature review from my blog:
ReplyDeleteSmith 2009 argues that students are often late to lectures due to the excesses of alcohol, however Jones 2008 states that most students cannot wake up until midday due to a natural hormonal anomaly and this is why they are tardy. He also mentions that due to this, all lectures should take place in the afternoon and cites Haden 2003 and his interesting insight into student sleep patterns to evidence this. Morgan 2008 notes that some individuals are either "early birds or night owls", and many students follow this pattern. Those people who favour early rising are very often exhausted by mid afternoon, whereas late risers can produce their best work after midnight (Wright 2009).
Hope this helps!
