Video games are often a controversial subject, particularly where children are concerned. Graphic depictions of sex and/or violence in popular games are often cited by conservative, anti-gun and anti-violence groups as contributing to children engaging in premarital sex or committing horrific acts of violence.
Violence
Some argue that Columbine High School mass-murderers Dylan Klebold and Eric Harris were driven to violence partially because they were fans of violent video games such as Doom and Duke Nukem.[1] Others disagree, arguing that, while video game usage has been increasing in recent years[2], a similar trend does not appear in violence statistics.[3]
