What's next - blaming Lesuire Suit Larry for a rise in sex crimes?

If games affected people then the drive home would be frantic and filled with driving into oncoming traffic so my boost bar fills up while just missing them to get my near miss multipliers up.

That's just lazy reporting by the author of this and they need to be repremanded but it will never happen as the great uneducated masses love knee-jeck tabloid reports like this.

If it wasn't for articles like this reporting on such a potential and idiotic mistake from the London paper then gamers and the likes wouldn't have had the chance to express their outrage direct to the paper and in turn put them under huge pressure to issue a reprint.

So well done to all those that took action on this and gave the paper a piece of their mind rather than just complaining.

What hasn't GTA been blamed for? I've played the series since I was 10, haven't killed anyone yet or burnt down my own city. Seriously...

The only thing credible studies have shown is that kids playing computer games aren't out on the streets bored, with nothing to do and resorting to violence.

Kids also have a great way to safely de-stress and their enjoyment from these games shows them one of the benefits of society and business.

You see and appreciate the benefits a safe, culture rich society could bring you, computer gaming is something that is strongest in such a society. As a kid growing up I was glad that because of our fairly stable and safe society, developers could work on and bring me great computer games to play, I recognised this at a fairly young age, I'm sure at least subconsciously the young gamers of today are well aware of this.
