311159 2005-01-06 06:37:00 TV3 at 8:30 tonight is the doco - just a game.

Thursday Doco explores the impact of video games which have become the biggest entertainment phenomenon in history and make more money than Hollywood.

are computer games turning us all in to killing zombies??

311160 2005-01-06 06:47:00 I would imagine that politicians are responsible for a billion more deaths then video games,Maybe we should ban them instead..... Metla (12)
311161 2005-01-06 06:49:00 that think that us gamers have a problem, the people that have the problem are the ones that wanna blame others, if they cant handle the game, they should play it then..... Prescott (11)

311166 2005-01-06 10:04:00 I don't know how many of you have read the Brothers Grimm tales . I cut my teeth on them as a boy . Scary stuff . No happy sweet all-is-well endings .

And despite this trauma, I've turned out well . Indeed, I haven't felt the need to murder for ages .

If there is a problem with computer games, it is that they are so compelling . They are also sedentary . No exercise or physical interaction with other people . This is unhealthy .

However, the violence etc is no different to that contained in centuries of fairy tales . And indeed in everyday life prior to the 19th century . So we need not fear for the longterm effects of these games on our youth .

Reading has exactly the same effects, but no one complains about that :illogical

BTW I'm not meaning to quote out of context, just heighten your point, I think :@@:
