Parents 2: Healthy living: Video games will make your kids violent and more likely to fail at school, according to new research. Nothing could be further from the truth, says games junkie Steven Poole

This article disagrees with the idea of violent video games causing violent acts in real life, talking about people who re-create acts in video games are "psychopaths" and the video game is not necessarily to blame. Using the Harris and Klebold shooting as an example. Basically saying that anything from a song, so a bad day could cause someone with these intentions to act violently in reality and not just in a video game.

  1. I do agree with this point. Its not the video games that makes kids violent. Basically video games are meant for fun and entertainment and if we make use of this thing for a longer time or in excess it will harm us.
