Violence in Video Games

A highly debated topic, violence in video games continues to attract attention. This article on Lazy Gamer opens with the line:
"While we all know that videogame violence doesn’t cause violence in society the mainstream media still love prancing on about this."
It seems the greatest protesters of this idea are gamers themselves. The article goes on to criticize a poor experiment by the Munwha Broadcasting Company in South Korea where they turned off the power at an internet cafe and concluded video games lead to violence after the gamers in the cafe were angered. I have to side with Lazy Gamer when they wrote that this is the stupidest experiment ever.
