Violence in Videogames: Modern Warfare 2, The Latest Scapegoat

Infinity Ward's Robert Bowling tweeted not too long ago that if anyone wanted a spoiler-free experience, they should opt for a total media blackout up until the launch of Modern Warfare 2, on November 10th. Headlines are already linking the scene in the video to violent acts in videogames, what they do to people and what they make people do. I wouldn't be surprised if I was hearing or reading – in the near future - about school-killings or downtown-mayhem-murders done by some guy, and the whole situation being blamed on videogames. And I'll tell you what, not only is that a load of bulls***, but it also goes to show that media these days don't seem to have anything better to report on, so why not stir things up by writing about videogame violence, again? Let alone do research on the matter.
