Video Game Violence
Studies that correlate one behavior with another do not and cannot determine cause and effect relationships. It is not, and cannot, be known whether individuals that play aggressive video games are prone to violent acts, or individuals that (will) perform violent acts are prone to play aggressive video games. I am inclined to believe such aggressive video games (street fighter, punch-out, Doom, etc) sublimate not stimulate aggression. If more people vented anger in the virtual world, the real world would have less rage in it, not more. Unless of course you suck at a game and it enrages you (I’ve never thrown a Nintendo controller at the screen…)… as any personal insufficiency would and does. Perhaps learning to control such rage can be taught using crappy games (notice how the games I am bad at, are suddenly crappy ), and be carried over into real world frustrations.

So you support Video Game violence right? If so, check out my "SOF ROCKS!" thread.

I don''t know what these people want from us, you can''t have any type of entertainment without violence or conflict in it.There are no games (except learning media and some porno) or forms of entertainment that do not have a good guy and a bad guy (exception: 1 on 1 fighter games, these have a dynamic bad guy).
Are they going to eliminate the bad guy? Is it the good guys fault for wanting to stop the bad guy? why doesn''t the good guy talk to the bad guy instead of fighting? why can''t the bad guy make some lemonaide for the good guy? why can''t people who think violence and conflict in games go take a flying leap?

Violence just makes the game a little more realistic. If you want a cool game that doesn''t contain violence, then you better have a good reason not to.

I agree games need violence but whenever my nephews play game with me (one 9 and the other 4) after the game they begin hitting me and stuff thinking it''s all cool. it doesn''t hurt though. Its true game violence does make youger people act violent. really sad isn''t it. 
As far as I''ve ever seen, little kids are violent little bastards, anyway. They can be influenced by television and movies and even books just as much as computer games. In fact...I personally think the closest thing to a computer game is a book, in which you sometimes feel as if you are partaking in the adventure. Nobody complains about the violence in The Oddessy or The Divine Comedy. Hell, in an old Greek play, the main character stabs his own eyes out, and his wife kills herself. And violence TO children is also often a large issue ("Oh, my God, in The Patriot, they give children guns!"). In the same play mentioned before, the parents of the main character hadn''t wanted him, so they pierced his ankles, tied a rope throuh the piercings and tied him to a stake in the ground on a hillside to die. Of course, no one ever mentions books. Why? Gee...I wonder...because they just wanna blame something, and video games are newer than anything else.

Hmm, I never thought that game induced violence until I saw the ramblings of nes8bit in #gamedev.
If he''s even nearly as violent in real life as he is in SOF...

Whenever I see an old lady slip and fall on a wet sidewalk, my first instinct is to laugh. But then I think, what if I was an ant and she fell on me? Then it wouldn't seem quite so funny.
