This is somewhat relevant.
After a german shooting in march, which they 'linked' to violent video games, they're now planning a blanket ban on violent games, with one of the big derpartment stores over there already having removed all 18+ DVD and games from its shelf.
Personally, I think the link between video games and violence is fragile at best . I play violent games, and have not, to the best of my knowledge, killed anybody . Neither have any of my gaming friends or family . I think the ONLY way video games are going to drive anyone to violence is if they're already screwed up in the head - as the fella in the op and the fella who did the shooting in germany clearly must have been .
