Sorry, going to have to agree with Xenon here. Only I would also have mentioned that HamiltonJay state that they were less likely to hesitate in combat. Besides that, the article states that games let out aggression. I would suggest that military training and games are not quite the same. One is engaged in for the purpose of entertainment. The other is engaged in knowing that the purpose is to learn how to kill quickly and accurately. Also, one might gather that the more similar the weapons one trained with were to the weapons they would be using, the less likely one was to hesitate in combat. Mouselook and WASD will not help you if you are in a life threatening situation.

I have no problem with agressive video games, I have huge problem with first person shooters. They are 2 different categories... kids want to play fighter style games, that does not bother me... but first person shooters definately are off limits to my kids.

If they want to play war, go outside in the back yard with the toy guns.
