Researchers this time claimed that games about violence increase aggressive thoughts and desensitise you to real-life violence.
The argument is fairly simple. Clever people (who went to university to learn this, remember) used brain scans to prove that a game about violence - presumably something like a gory shooter - causes more arousal than a non-violent game - presumably something like a role-playing or adventure game.
Which is quite true, unless it's a lesbian alien sex scene.
"Exposure to violent video games, even E rated video games, increases aggressive thoughts, increases pro-social behaviour and increases general arousal," Dr. Greg Snyder told KETV7.
