2) are you male or female?

5) How often do you game?
6) Do you believe that violence in video games has an effect on young people and the crimes they might commit?

I don't believe violence in games influence's children, because pressing buttons is so far-removed from committing violent acts.
I don't believe violent games should be banned
I see games as getting increasing violent because of new technology and graphics

Absolutely not.
Absolutely not, censorship never helps anything.
No, graphics have simply gotten better.

1) 17
2) M
3) England
4) No
5) No set time really, I game whenever I feel like it, no two days are the same.
6) Possibly, only the very impressionable or mentally ill though.
7) No.
8) No, realisticness of said violence is getting better though, which gives that kind of effect.

As I said in another survey thread, you're going to get the same kind of answers from everyone because you're only getting one side. If you went to a completely neutral site, non-gaming related, you'd get a more accurate sample.

3) The United States
4) Yes
5) 40+ hours a week
6) Depends on the person. Some people are highly impressionable, others are not. Video games could have an effect on the impressionable, or form such malleable mentality. Do I think they are more of a problem than other outlets? No. Television could be just as bad (if not worse).
7) No. Violent video games are entertaining and violence is one of the social constructs of the United States, today (and arguably other countries). You would sooner remove children's video games for making the American population 'soft' or 'wimpy.'
8) No. I think there is a point where it's impossible to be 'more violent' without being 'more mindless.' Graphics are at an all-time high, which makes it appear to be more violent and more life-like. It's tough to make a more violent game than a bunch of men beating each other to death.

4) No, I'd rather learn universal rules than be destroyed on a whim.
5) Daily
6) Only in that they learn new "moves" from them. The news-worthy people all have mental issues imo.
7) No, of course not.
8) Yes, but they are getting appropriate age ratings. If someone underage plays them it's not the game company's fault ( isee where this is going...)

Pleasure to help you. :)

Yeah i agree but the majority of people here will have different religious beliefs and thoughts on the impacts of games. I appreciate the tip though. Thanks

5) Every couple od days?
6) Depends on the circumstances; anything can have an effect on anyone, but whether they are the root cause of the matter is the real question. (Generally its a no :p)
7) Do you think increasingly violent films and music should be banned? no.
8) Well, yes, but todays society has become a lot more tolerant over past years.

Just so you know everyone, Im NOT campaigning to ban video games. I play everyday and i love the lifestyle. This survey is purely about the impact of violence in games.

Im not trying to get games banned by the way. I just have to investigate the link between video game violence and young people.
I appreciate your help.
