I'd like to point out that people have been killing each other way before videogames were popular.
Therefore this research is a silly thing

Then the scientists wouldn't be in the best place.

Well ... we'd all taste of lentils, and the aliens would probably get bored of eating us and leave.
Nothing wrong with a bit of aggression.
What if aliens were to land and we had to fight 'em. We wouldn't be much use if we were a load of flower picking, skirt wearing, furry animal loving pansies now would we.

Press like this makes me so angry, I JUST WANNA FIGHT SOMTHING
Doing aggressive things makes you act the same as if you were being aggressive!
Loads of games have it.
Goldeneye jumps straight to mind...
But it's like that guy in the second half of the article said, the research didn't really mean anything as:
a) Many believe that side of the brain is more about restraint
b) You'd get the same reaction from violent scenes in a film
so it was another excuse to go witch hunting on games again.
C'est la vie.
Infact, there's been so many of these wolf-cries that I don't think ANYONE takes them seriously anymore...

"During a fight in the game, parts of the brain which deal with emotion, including the amygdala and the anterior cingulate cortex, were shut down.
The same pattern has been seen in brain scans of people during acts of real aggression. "
And you'd find the exact same pattern if you showed them a film, or had them read a book about violent acts.
Also note they only studied 13 people. Great stuff.

"A team from the University of Aachen, Germany, asked men to play a game which required them to kill terrorists in order to rescue hostages."
Never heard of it.
