Violent Console Games...

Everywhere you look today big companies are making games for Plastation X-Box and many more, but are these games making us more violent. Do these kind of game stoke our violent instincts? There have been many times where in teen shootings they have been triggered by violent video and compputer games. I was on the internet and stumbled across this article. Quite a while back a boy in his early teens had a game console and his mum just used to buy him the games hewanted or just the games other kids had, a couple years later after playing these games he murdered three people then was captured when they captured him he was wearing what he calls a 'death suite' the boys mother saw him in court and gave him a hug but say that he didn't feel the same and she knew straight away the moment she touched him that he had changed. Is this the video game makers fault or was he always going to turn out that way? Some people debate that violent games shouldn't be banned because the personm who did that should get therapy for whatever he did instead of punishing everyone that is a good point but what if people are triggered by this but they don't even notice? I think the solution is maybe to make violent games a higher price or ro rate them higher.
PLEASE POST OPINIONS!!

Hi,
In my opinion it really depends on how much the person plays it, but i agree that the more violent the game, the higher it costs to get them. Also if parents do buy their children a game they should first check it incase of too much violence.
