Psychology of Video Games
This article is a great read: Eight Myths about Video Game Play.
Video game playing has been attacked by the media (among others) as something which promotes violence in youth. This is just wrong. If you look at the statistics, far more non-violent people play video games than do violent people. Or rather, most of the people who play video games are not violent people and most likely won't bring a gun to school and shoot up their friends because Counterstrike made them believe it was cool.
It irks me when the media blames violence on media. I also find it ironic.
