Probably. Look at how the media treats “positive” games like Nintendo’s Brain Training.

interesting… I side with the video games makers and agree that parents should do their jobs, not abuse the kids and filter what they consume, media and food. That said I wonder if the next GTA game had a series of good deeds in it then would that credit be given to the game?

Man, wouldn’t it be great if in the next GTA there was a mission to “take out” a lawyer who was trying to get a violent video game pulled from the shelves. I smell a perfect use of the sniper rifle.

No. You’re confusing “statistically significant correlation” with “strong correlation.”

It’s highly likely that violent games have a negative influence on the people who play them (although in this particular case, compared to everything else this person went through, it most certainly played no role at all). Does that mean that they should be banned? Hell no. IMHO, they shouldn’t be sold to minors, but adults should be allowed to play whatever the hell they want.

I dunno…do you think the “years of mental and physical abuse” may have had something to do with the boy’s actions?!?! This frivolous pursuit is nothing more than an attempt at censorship and get-rich-quick schemes by shady lawyers (and Joe Lieberman and Kitty Gore).

I agree there needs to be a barrier to violent and adult-based content from young kids…it’s called a “parent”. The ESRB rating has been around long enough that parents should monitor the games that their children buy or rent. But regardless of the nature of the games, if the games caused violent tendencies in adolescents, shouldn’t we see widespread violence and murders across the country in consideration of the huge sales success of the GTA series.

Oh, puuleeze. I call bullsh*t.
