Description

The video game industry is big business, and with the improvement of Virtual Reality technology, video games will only become more realistic and immersive. Fears abound that they drive their players to commit violent acts. While many people believe the games desensitize kids to violence, others argue that there has been no scientific connection between aggressive behavior and video games.

Or can video games actually help troubled kids, by providing them with a safe outlet for their aggression and a way to work out their frustrations? - from Amzon
