Violent games 'affect behaviour'

Violent computer games may make people more likely to act aggressively, a study says.

Previous research has found people who play such games are more likely to be aggressive but some say this just shows violent people gravitate towards them. But a team from the University of Missouri-Columbia said their study which monitored the brain activity of 39 game players suggests a causal link.
