'''Violent video games''' are [[video games]] that allow the player to commit horrific virtual violence. These can lead to increased aggression,<ref>http://www.apa.org/science/psa/sb-anderson.html</ref> though not all studies support this, but there is no proven correlation between real life violence and virtual violence.<ref>http://www.itweek.co.uk/vnunet/news/2184836/link-video-games-violent-teens</ref> Examples of violent video games include:
    
* Postal 2: Apocalypse Weekend (M-rated) -- The ads for this game boast that new weapons will enable you "to hack your enemies to meaty bits!" It involves a game character who commits violent acts against unarmed civilians. Other features in the Postal series include: urinating on people to make them vomit in disgust, using cats as shotgun silencers, and playing fetch with dogs using human heads.
