Well, maybe not the only country, but certainly weve got the craziest people. And if you dont believe me, you dont have to take my word for it.

Official story taken from Xbox 360 news.

Three-quarters of parents in the US believe that playing videogames "contributes" to violent behaviour, according to a survey published by Common Sense Media. That's the same proportion of people who think that easy access to guns can be an influential factor, apparently.

1050 people were interviewed across 50 states during the survey, each with a child of under 18 years living at home. Movies and TV also took a drubbing, with 77 per cent of respondents crying foul. 93, 92 and 86 per cent also think that a lack of parental supervision, bullying and exposure to crime in daily life respectively have a notable impact.

A bill calling for a study of the influence of violent videogames on children was recently introduced to the US Senate by senator Jay Rockefeller, three days after a school shooting in Connecticut which has been variously attributed to the disturbing effects of playing Dynasty Wars, Call of Duty and Mass Effect. The bill failed to find a following, but according to Polygon, Rockefeller plans to reintroduce it during this month's Senate session.

"At times like this, we need to take a comprehensive look at all the ways we can keep our kids safe," he declared while the bill was under discussion in December. "I have long expressed concern about the impact of the violent content our kids see and interact with every day."

US vice-president Joe Biden is to meet with representatives of the games industry to discuss solutions to the nation's culture of violence. In a letter to Biden (cheers, CNET), the International Game Developers Association's Daniel Greenberg "[welcomed] more evidence-based research into the effects of our work to add to the large body of existing scientific literature that clearly shows no causal link between video game violence and real violence."

"Instead of simply trying to find negative effects, we ask that any new research explore the benefits of violent video games, too," he added.

Ouch for American gamers!.

Australia has violent video games, we have R games here aswell, maybe not all violent games, but we gota heck of alot

They wouldnt ban games as it is the parents responsibility to watch what they are doing on xbox, and what games they play.

theyve blame violent games one everything doesnt mean that they will get rid of them

Too bad for US.
Also, I would only mind if they'd give back that unique touch and addicting feeling.

Talk about Modern Warfare 1, 2, 3 and probably 4?
How about you know that third one is utter shit and try something new or call it a night with the whole series.

Same with music..
Selfmade 1, 2.
Procrastination Kills, 1, 2, 3, 4..

So forth.

your sillyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy

Dont worry about it 76mil play ps3 and 77mil people play xbox do you think they will overule that many people? yeah right and if they do which will not happen it will cause more people because its gonna be riots trust me people love cod and other shooters enough to do so

Video games do not cause violence, I play violent video games, but I can control myself not to do the things, it's common sense to not run out and steal a car or shoot someone up, I used that example because of a game like GTA, people do it but it isn't children that play the games doing it. And call of duty isn't that violent if you ask me, your shooting people but it's war. Not running around shooting any random person, and there's not a ton of cursing or anything really violent in call of duty.
