Line 73: − Some people point out that violent video games cause violent behavior in children. The effects of violent video games on the developing psyches of children and adolescents vary greatly and of course depend on the mental stability of the subject in question.+ − Serious crimes have often been associated with video games. For example, a 14-year-old brutally murdered a video arcade employee one morning and his cousin stands trial for murdering the store manager when he entered the store shortly thereafter.<ref>http://www.nj.com/starledger/stories/index.ssf?/base/news-5/1212467732102240.xml&coll=1</ref> − − Some claim that kids who don't play video games at all seem to show more violent tendencies.

Multiple studies using faulty strategies claim to prove video games cause agression. However they do not mention that if they where to use there testing format on any sport including golf they would be able to "prove" that the sport causes agression.
