no more spam plz talking bout how right matt is, i'm sure his head is big enough as it is . But stratergy games are good for children because it teaches them the value of thinking out stuff. Different people react differently, some people go into a state of shock while others react. have a gander at http://www.fetchfido.co.uk/games/rea...ction_test.htm
to check your reaction time...
I dont think my years of computer gaming have helped my reaction time 0.265
But then again I can take a gurila force and deploy them in any enviroment urban to jungle against a technologically superior foe
(all i need is a map in isometric perspective and a pause time function........)
.24 i dontthink that gaming helped my raction time for that, I have been playing those games (reaction games for 3 years now but different type) and i have never improved.
I got 0.208... screen dump attached as proof
As it says on the site, your reactions are improved with practise, as anything else. You'll probably find that your reactions have improved in general, even if you don't realise it. Otherwise... you might not have played games very often or something.

I agree with the first part, not the second. I have incredible reactions since playing such games - and I've not played any since July last year, really, when my computer broke, so they seem to be long-lasting.
On the violence front, I have never once had an urge to kill people since playing my first violent first-person shooter. I certainly haven't actually killed or attempted to kill anyone. In fact, I've only ever even been in a fight once, which was self-defense on my part (high school - youth politics become more inexplicable than ever, glad to be out of the confusing place).
If anything, violent games provide a release for any sort of pent up anger or inherent violent feelings some people may have in real-life. You meet someone particularly annoying, you can take your frustration out on some computer pixels. Without such a release the less self-controlled people may resort to punching walls (that's reserved for when your computer breaks, lol) or even people. Now they have an outlet.
There have always been muderers, always been violent people. Wife beaters. Rapists. Even the odd nutter in a religious cult that requires some sort of sacrifice. It seems like a new phemonemon because newspapers have only been around in the last 100-200 years reporting them - if computer games explain the recent crimes, what explains spurts of violent crime before computers were even invented? Computer games, as movies before them, have become the excuse.
I think that if ever there was a case of someone actually being directly influenced and driven to kill someone because of a computer game, that they must be incredibly weak-minded, unrestrained and susceptable to suggestion anyway, and something would have triggered such activities if computer games hadn't been around.
Scape-goats, that's the only role computer games play in crime, so far as I can see.
EDIT = Welcome to GF, BTW, Muddy; I've never seen you before anyway
No, it doesn't usually cause killing. But it usually does make them result to violent ways if you grow up around violent games.
And computer games may get you so mad you screw up the computer because someone's there acting real stupid and gay and you can't take it anymore.
thanks for welcoming today, i mostly kinda hung out around the Call of Duty forums, I agree with you about the fps as a oulet for excuses, what about the internet, where anything can be found (by thoroughly searching) like how to make a home-made bomb and stuff.
god, i just got back from playin BF1942, and man, i wanna KILL SOMEONE!!!!
j/k :lol:
my reflectses are pretty good, maily due to FPS.... but on the killing thing, you have to be really stupid to let a video game infleunce you do do anything you see in it....
No you don't, violent TV and Games are hurting (Emotionally?) young kids everyday.
