You and I may not lose our heads after encountering violence in games but there are plenty of whacks out there who are poisioned by it.
Video games can be fun but if that fun is NOT controlled, then it can lead to an addiction and this in turn will severely hinder social development.
There are PLENTY of cases where "violent" games played a part in screwing up the lives of the player and others:
-Devin Moore became a whacko after playing the GTA games...he killed 3 police officers and the SOB was only 18.
-And don't forget the Columbine shooters...they were Doom addicts and created their own game levels to make it look like their high school.
When I said "games are not fun without guns and all," I was refering to FPS/RTS games. I play (and have) every Microsoft Flight Sim up to the last one and they are quite fun.
