Video games that involve so many sort of violence are found all over shelves of stores where you and maybe your children shop every day. Actually, the National Coalition of TV Violence conducted a survey on Nintendo video games and found that 105 out of 150 games surveyed had some form of high-level violence. Now despite the amount of games containing these "high levels of violence", we do not see murder cases on the news every day relating to some kid who went wild because of the countless hours spent on his Nintendo. ...
