I know it's been a real point of controversy about whether video games can cause violence. I've always tended to believe it was unlikely in a normal person. In part because the violence was so unrealistic and because the characters were so cartoonish. But watching this promo spot for Halo 3 has me wondering about that. The soldiers look so realistic it's a little bit scary. And I can't help wondering if people might have more difficulty separating video game from reality as these games/characters become more realistic.
For what it's worth, I don't question that video games, movies, music, and other forms of media could set off a person who is close to snapping in the first place. But these people represent a tiny percentage of the population.
