  Survey Says: Videogames Don't Cause Violence 2007-04-19 13:52 beef623

beef623 writes "A recent survey conducted in England indicates that video games don't lead to violence after all.

The Board, which classifies up to 300 games a year, concluded that for gamers "The violence helps make the play exhilaratingly out of reach of ordinary life."

But it added "Gamers seem not to lose awareness that they are playing a game and do not mistake the game for real life."


Not surprisingly though, 2 out of the 3 story highlights CNN lists twist the context of the story to try to say otherwise."
