just off the top of my head ^ hundreds of violent videogame titles in the past few years yet violent crime is down among youths.

than go out and steal a real car"
http://www.health.harvard.edu/newsletters/Harvard_Mental_Health_Letter/2010/October/violent-video-games-and-young-peoplethis argument has as much basis as claiming horror movies turn us into cannibals or program babysitters to be submissive to men in masks. It's silly. The fact is violent crime is down at a time where we are surrounded by violent video games, sales are soaring and triple aaa titles sell millions of copies the first day they're released, yet there's no increase in crime linked to gaming. if games had an effect we'd be seeing statistics explode among youths in recent years, violent crimes are down and game sales aren't..
as I said in another post none of those studies show any link to violent crimes, and are biased against games. "Behavior" is speculation at best, when I watch an action movie I get revved up, when you watch horror you get scared, romantic movies make you feel warm and fuzzy or squeamish, yet I don't see sex addicts blaming Ryan goslings abs from crazy stupid love, murderers blaiming the movie zodiac. just as there's no proof videogames lead to any sort of violence, check out the federal crime statistics. The average gamer is about 35 and has been playing for at 15 least years, wouldn't there be a visible impact?
Playing shooters doesn't make you a marksman, playing adventure platformers doesn't make you a gymnast, but I will concede one thing to you..
tetris TOTALLY makes you better at organization. You got me lol
