There’s been another study released which further supports a theory that mothers have known for decades: Violent video games can bring out the aggressive side of the kids who play them.
This new Ohio State University study is the first to provide evidence that the negative side effects from playing video games can actually build and grow over time.
After studying a group of gamers for 3 consecutive days, Brad Bushman, a professor of Ohio State University’s School of Communication, found that their aggressive tendencies grew with each additional day when they played violent games. By contrast, there was no “meaningful” change in aggression for those gamers who played non-violent games.
While this is hardly the first study to link violent video games with aggression, it is the first of its kind to provide experimental evidence that this aggression accumulates with time, thereby leading to potential long-term effects.

I never believed this,
as a kid, I played GTA San Andreas, Manhunt, God of War, etc..
I never felt angry or collected anything harmful.
I just play the game, because I know the difference between
Virtual and reality.
Lol a whole 3 day study of someone "observing" aggression, very conclusive.
We had the same fears with computer games in the 80's and we all turned out ok.

Maybe people learn to gain some respect from the ones that try to step on them with no right.
We've gaming for years and most of us are fine, that's pretty conclusive.
