And the second source does not say directly that the games lead to violent or criminal acts. In fact, there isn't much evidence of violent video games being a major cause of violent acts in real life. -[[User:BMoore|BMoore]] 10:42, 4 May 2008 (EDT)

:The first reference is good enough by itself, but goes beyond that and cites various sources supporting the claim. The second does state that these games lead to aggressive behavior (under the "theory" section). [[User:WilliamH|WilliamH]] 10:57, 4 May 2008 (EDT)
