They are beating this dead horse because they want to find "scientific proof" to justify the nanny-state laws the article clearly mentions
true. give them "proof", and they agree and are nice. give them the real results, and they'll kick you out of the building. another reason to put people that actually have common sense in law-making instead of agenda-followers.
Looking, however, to vilify games, they always choose to present the second viewpoint, which is why people get so frustrated with these studies.
yep. i'll listen to one of these when it is an independant,not-funded-by-any-group-like-the-one-that-funded-this-one (so that its actually unbiased),study of a good amount of people.
violent people will play violent games, otherwise games like SSBB would be ignored for games like Cars,Shrek,and the rest of the movie games.
Perhaps it is aggression induced by the video games?
Or perhaps it is aggression induced by how many people won't agree with their "proof" that aggression comes from video games? (just look at how many don't in just this one group of story comments.)
you are correct about that.
but what about MMOs that are free to play, like AdventureQuest Worlds http://aq.com/? (its only been 'live' for a month, but you don't have to pay to play all of it. but how did they make an MMO completly in Flash?)

me too. if you're angry, take it out on some virtual thing/person that will be completly fixed/healed as soon as its turned off.
