It's definitely not junk science, but come on, how much of this study is something really ground breaking? Visual and Audial Input Causes Reactions in Brain!!! News at 11! Of course when we see violence our brain reacts to it. When I watch a sad movie I can cry, when I watch a funny comedian I can bust out laughing, when someone yawns, I yawn back. When I see starving kids in third world countries my brain tells me that I'm hungry... When I watch pr0n... nvm.
There are several reactions one may have to seeing violence. When I watch violence like the opening scene in Saving Private Ryan I feel despair. When I see it in a scene in Starship Troopers it's more in a positive light. Kill the bugs! Save Humanity!. In GTA it's humor. Kill the Cartoon people to unlock the next level! This study has an agenda behind it, and I don't like the agenda.
If he can convince a jury that these game companies, that are making billions of dollars a year worldwide are to blame. He stands to make millions of dollars himself. Simple as that.

Uh... George Orwell wrote 1984. H.G. Wells wrote War of the Worlds, which Orson Wells narrated over the radio.
