Violent Games Don't Turn You Into A Rabid Killer - new research

Yes another study and amazingly this time it's pro-gamers.

I've never heard the like before, and one presumes the Daily Mail won't be reporting on it.

According to Patrick Kierkegaard of the University of Essex in the International Journal of Liability and Scientific Enquiry (a tome I'm sure you all subscribe to) video games are 'harmless' and don't lead to real world aggression.

He based his conclusions on research papers published since the 1980s, and claims previous studies were unfairly biased against video games.

Well it certainly makes a change - I must admit the only time I've felt a touch of aggression is when I've wanted to nut the screen after a 12-year-old from Germany has shot me in the face for the 13th time in a row in Counter Strike!
