An Honest opinion

69% AGREE VIOLENT VIDEO GAMES MAKE CHILDREN MORE AGGRESSIVE:
Please, in the middle ages kids viewed more violent images. If video games dictate the way we live my generation would all be living in dark rooms eating a lot of pills, running away from ghost. Thanks pac-man you really did a number on me!
