According to researchers in Australia, violence in video games are actually seen as more of a healthy stress reliever and social engagement tool. Had a bad day? Need some stress relief? Play zombies and see how many undead beings you can kill. Hijack a vehicle on grand theft auto 5 or hit some people like an opposing QB on Madden 25. Furthermore, gaming also can promote "a sense of community". Ever feel a sense of companionship with others posting about a game you really like. For example, a hardcore COD gamer may feel at home on a gaming blog or on a COD Facebook page. The conclusions made are that violence in moderation on a TV screen is a good thing. But like with anything, "with great power comes great responsibility.
