Do violent video game affects someone behaviour?

[Wolfencloud]

Violent video games does not affect someones behaviour. I saw a research or an article that video games does not affect the behaviour of a child. The good thing is is it can improve the reflexes or skills of the player I think.

I think it really doesn't. If guided accordingly, violent games will not be played by children. Every game is rated according to its content. If guided by the parents, violent games won't be played the parents.

The only games I can think which were built without killing or a violent element were pong and frogger, Its in our nature to want to make games to release our everyday stress relieve from shooting or killing others within a game.. Jesus even the stress balls have faces on them...

I don't think games make children more aggressive per say but its something to be watched and monitored if children are playing out the role playing fantasies from a game in their daily lives. I think its also bad parenting to allow kids to play gory aggressive games at such a young tender age.. what can be deemed positive from it other than some rest & thinking time whist the parents let the TV raise their children..

I think if your children have a real interest in games try to teach them about the game mechanics, what game theory is... and hopefully show them some simple games editable by code, so they can change colours, make their ships shoot faster and grow an interest in the backend of game development.

young children are looking for things which help them understand their word around them.. grasp how to fit into society in some lower understanding its our responsibility as parents to help raise a child with a good moral compass and to be compassionate to others.. in short I don't think that's something games of today is helping encourage.
