do your own research. this is an excellent source for it as it has facts through when video games when they werent popular to where they are 

I don't believe videogames are the sole cause of violent behavior.

  On the other hand, I wouldn't doubt that some games may bring out or enhance more aggressive tendancies in a person.  Everything we take in and experience affects us to some degree whether we want to admit it or not.  It's just a matter of how you choose to deal with it I guess.

i dont think they cause violence. violent video games donot cause violent behavior, hard video games do!Devouring_One

I agree.

No, video games do not cause violence. People tend to be violent by nature. It is whether you are more civilized or not that retards this nature. Let's look at the past long before video games and the violence that took place, ie the Romans, the crusades and the roaring 20's gangsters just to name a few violent times.
