Some parents undoubtedly wonder if playing violent video games will turn their teens into serial killers. A number of studies have suggested that kids who play the games may end up accepting violence as part of everyday life.

Now we have a dissenter by the attention-getting name of Kierkegaard (Patrick, that is). This British dissenter says those studies are biased and that there's no evidence that video games lead to skull-crushing. After all, violent crime among youths has declined while sales of the games have increased, he said. Maybe kids are able to vent their violent urges with the games, making them calmer in facing the rest of the world, he said.

But he adds that no one really knows for sure what the effects are. Even though there probably are kids sending links of the article to their parents right now...
