Surely if computer games had affected us as kids then we'd all be into stomping around in darkened rooms chomping pills and listening to repetitive music?

it's a running theme in our society that instead of trying to get to the root of the problem and working out why people behave in that way and teach them to love and respect eachother they blame the nearest thing. i guess it just seems easier.

Violent video games aren't really a problem, but one game that should definitely be banned is the Sims :D. That game really messed with my head. For months after playing that, my whole life and the people in it just seemed like a little sims game, with clickable actions, relationship matrices and moveable furniture.

It *is* about moderation.
I have seen several people (and children) lose themselves to video games/rpg games. Yes it takes an addictive personality to start out with, but this is where I think self-control or parental intervention comes in. I find this to be far more detrimental to people than the violence of it. Just a thought.

Research undertaken by ULTRALAB at the Anglia Polytechnic has shown that children can very clearly distinguish the difference between violence in computer games and the types of violence they hear about on the news. Computer games have been in the home for over 20 years, and there has not been one proven case of them causing children to become violent.

It's an interesting and hot topic right now. I think that GTA: San Andreas has taken violence in video games to a whole new level of realism and intensity. And it has sold millions of copies. I'm usually very liberal with my stance on this. Not because I enjoy playing it (which I do) but because I think it is a specific type of artistic freedom.
I do however, strongly support any aide or warning for parents. And I do think that, just as rated X movies are kept out of little one's hands, so should extremely violent video games. Even if that means I need to go into the separate dark room in the back of the store to buy it.
I'm glad though, that I wasn't exposed to such violence at a young age. It wasn't readily available and my parents did a good job of keeping me in legoland and other positive toys rather than focusing on violent ones.
As liberal as I want to see myself, I do worry about growing up in a world where 9 year olds are pretending to slice the throats of prostitutes for money and respect.
As with any new technology, we (as a society) should find a way to make it available without being misused by children.

If you're finding this all a bit unsavoury that's a GOOD sign. It means you're quite normal.
