Finnish Study Suggests Violent Games Do NOT Desensitize Players

A comment someone made on the entry...

I played Super Monkey Ball 2 back on the GameCube Really hard with the puzzles but really good relief once when you solved them… What other studies lacked before this was that they never tested any of the player responses with DIFFERENT types of games…ONLY just the violent games. This study is a first and hopefully be something others take heed to. If other Psychologists are going to try and convince that playing Violent Videogames are going to make gamers kill others, they should try to focus on A WIDER VARIETY OF GAMES>>>>

This is an interesting point. I started choking someone with my controller cord when I was playing Super Monkey Ball.

When playing something like Soul Calibur, I actaully always laugh when I die.

... I don't think I've ever died and expressed anger, only laughter or joy. Killing other players is cool, but it's much cooler to be bested.
