Do videogames make you violent?

No. I am an emotionally stable and sane person and that is a stupid question.

I think what Walrus said is true.

Some games help you know a little about each subject (History, Science, Math, etc). In fact, some games, like Brain Age, are supposed to help you.

But in LoZ case, and games like it where you need to think of a strategy, raise your strategy skills.

I say if people want to have violence and commit crimes, DO IT IN GAMES!! Then, you don't have the risk of going to jail or prison, and you have the FREEDOM to do it, over and over again!!

Or they should, you know, get professional help.

Games violent? Oh common. Some games are fun just beacause you can kill someone on the street for no particular reason. Well, except robbing him. And the most important thing. Games are made to do what you will CANT or WONT do. And thats why they are so fun.  :)

I'm not a particularly violent person, but kicking nurses down stairs, hitting NPCs with pipes, and etc. in Silent Hill is a huge stress relief. o_o

I don't like GTA, sorry. D:

I'd say it's too violent, but, you know, undead serial killers are not much better... u_u;

And lets not forget Himan. I didn't really like that game  ::)
