It's sqaull not sqeull, and I just like to say I don't think violence is caused by video games. I think it's more society, that's just my opinion
Haha it's alright Accidents happen. I do think it can influence violence but that society is a much bigger factor.
This just names tragedies relating to video games that resulted in deaths.. Its the people playing them that are in the wrong, not the games. You could have named deaths due to car crashes, is the car to blame?
I love video games n I mean love N I've played some pretty violent games but I'm a nice guy not a deranged psycho
Luna-lune... I read that and the only thing I could think of is "it's Squall, not Squell". And he uses a gunblade. That loser didn't pay enough attention to detail and used a katana .
Get the hell out of forums... I am a girl and i play/played most of this games.... And no: I dont want to kill real people. So... Get outta here
I believe it's actually really interesting. I don't believe, though, that it is really the game in most cases, but rather the person playing them. It's kind of like the person creates a new reality in his head I guess? But I do believe games with intense violence, like GTA, does have an affect on younger kids because it gives them the ideas.
