If only Elite Force was more realistic, I'd probably enjoy it. Elite Force 2 doesn't look any better. :\

True, sometimes parents blame games for violence because they obviously can't blame themselves for not noticing their children's violent tendencies. My mom was asking me about EverQuest the other day because some kid's mom blamed it for inducing him to suicide since he played it all the time. Not only does that baffle anyone who's ever seen EverQuest played, but simple psychology would suggest the kid was spending so much time in a fantasy world BECAUSE he had problems.
But, on the other hand, it is also stupid to assume violent video games do NOT affect people's tendencies to violence. If the media doesn't affect people, why do companies bother putting out ads?

I hold myself up in my bedroom and play violent video games quite often. And I have no anger towards real life as a result of it. I love sniping enemy soldiers in the leg, seeing the exposed bone and watching them fall to the ground in pain. It's great. And it's just a simulation. One which doesn't fuel me to go harm myself or others. Nor does seeing airplanes fly into things. I don't want to go hurt those that hurt others. I've no hostilities from the things I expose myself to. I happen to enjoy blowing limbs off people in video games, but I have a very weak stomach for anything of that matter that's real. I'm a wussy of sorts. I'm a virtual badass who wouldn't hurt a fly.

It's the morals, not the video games that cause children to shoot people. It is the parents who do not enforce any type of behavior restrictions on their kids, so they grow up thinking they can get away with anything. Think about it, for example, parents who bring children to love God, is not going to go shoot people because hey are jocks or whatever.
I think all of us were brought up to believe (and personally believe) that killing life is a wrong way to go. That and along the line that you will pay for such actions.
It's al about their personality, it has nothing to do with TV, Movie or Game violence. Al it is a scapegoat so that it wouldn't be like saying "They were brought up that way."

True that certain aspects of worshipping God is bad, but can you reall see someone who goes to church every Sunday, who loves God, and would later in that week go in school and kill people because of TV or games?
