I'm always surprised about how 'experts' like Jack Thompson can even say that video games make people violent when the opposite it true. Such a study has proven as well. Think about it, when I want to relieve stress, I don't reach for a gun and start blowing holes in people. I play a game that allows me to do that. It is much more relaxing than not being chased by cops in real life.
Remember that weirdos will still be weirdos.

"There were actually higher levels of relaxation before and after playing the game as opposed to experiencing anger, but this very much depended on personality type," said team leader Jane Barnett from Middlesex University. "This will help us develop an emotion and gaming questionnaire to distinguish the type of gamer who is likely to transfer their online aggression into everyday life." Barnett's paper was presented at the British Psychological Society's annual conference in Dublin.
