I once heard that when the movie based on the masterpiece novel A Clockwork Orange was released in the UK, several cases of people 'imitating' the acts of violence done by the main characters had been seen. Quite gruesome acts, I assure you.
I agree with the writer of the article: It IS irresponsible to accuse video games for the violence done by teenagers. Video games are a very wide-spread hobby, and there are too few cases to accuse them. The guilty person is surely somewhat mental, if he kills somebody just like in a video game/movie.
I am kind of in the 'crazy' teenage status currently. I cannot count all of the Mature rated violent games I've played, including American Mcgee's Alice, Unreal Tournament, Kingpin, Carmageddon, Diablo(specifically Part I cause of the amtosphere that II lacked). Personally, I think that playing them has in no way made my thinking more violent.
