Meta-study on video game violence concludes more research needed

Ars Technica reports that a study on video-game violence finds methodological problems with previous research.

A bottom-feeder on the gameing world

My reward for myself in finishing the dissertation was picking up a used Nintendo GameCube. I have to admit that I’m a bottom-feeder in videogaming, spending too much money on the coin-op games at the laundry, or scamming time playing Atari at other people’s homes.

One of the first games I picked up was the critically-praised but undersold Beyond Good and Evil (flash and music). This was a game that both impressed me and frustrated on my badly aged PC, but runs great on the GameCube. I like games with big epic storylines with character development, and this game has some great characterization. The graphics and music are also beautiful.
