Bah! Comic books were also blamed for juvenile crime many decades ago.

I am going to get violent if Sony wastes resources on making God of War 4 instead of something cool, so they have a point.

Lucky bastard!

In all seriousness, I wonder how this book reads, I don't think God of War 1, 2 and 3 were played nearly by enough people to have a measurable effect in a global scale... and blaming video games seems a bit disingenious since the regions of the world where people can actually afford to play them are the regions where there is likely the least actual violence (IE places where people are likely to be well off).

Seriously, child soldiers do not have much time to play video games... neither do the people who endoctrinate them.

Bloody hell they could at least do their research before they blame video games.

Violence in societies has it's biggest connection to income inequality, not video games.

Play this for your class. I shared this in my Psychology class. However my teacher was a gamer and had her doctorate. So go figure.

Eh, I wouldn't. Guy's point of view/argument is filled with holes all over.

It seems to be a mod for Half-Life 2.
