    The problem with “scientific reasearch” in certian enviornments is that they can show what ever the financer wants by putting the results in a different aspect.
    Now for years faster reflexes, better hand eye and improved multitasking (due to the need to track multiple targets while retrieving ammo, and turning the cranks to open doors, ha!) have been the constant result but now that the tests are financed by the “anti gaming society” the results only show increased violence!
    Its like the tobacco companies financing reports that smoking isnt addictive or linked to cancer…

    thats true, but the thing they don’t realise is that people tend to get angry when they play harder-to-play-games. i got so pissed when playing super monkey ball, its not violent. i don’t get pissed at playing halo at any difficulty except legendary. there is never one answer, but they don’t care.

    Violent kids are the result of poor parenting, not because of what the games do to them.
