No. I do not have the expertise to argue it one way or the other. As a citizen with a few years of life experience I suspect that viewed within a vacuum there is no evidence of video games fomenting violent behavior.
Personal story: I used to play Raiden D/X all the time out at Grossmont College. It's a scroll up airplane shooter type arcade game. Takes a lot of split second reacting and makes my already RSI'd hands hurt. I started to notice after a while that when I played this game and then took the commute back home to Serra Mesa, I'd drive worse than if I hadn't been playing Raiden. I'd get itchy and keep lane changing. San Diego traffic does that to me anyway, but it was definitely worse after playing Raiden. So, I don't know about violence, but I know that video games can make a person jittery. -todd -- [email protected] http://www.kernel-panic.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/kplug-list
