Slashdot blog post.

I'm rather amused actually, seeing how games been blamed for violence over so long. Of course, I wonder if the results would differ with other games...

They should repeat the study with a real game instead of WoW.

I really have a problem taken anything from this study seriously. There were no control groups to compare the people against, they could have had a group of people go for a bike ride and see if that reduces stress levels and how they compare. Plus, it seems like it's pretty common sense, doing something that takes your mind off of what you're stressed about will reduce your stress levels...

Ah, finally.

Yes it's a flawed study. They should had at least compared several different games, and yes most people pointed out it was kind of obvious in a sense. But sadly, it seems like there are some people who think that games does the opposite. :p

*shrug*

That game mostly makes me groan out of annoyance, with spurts of happiness when i pass a tricky part or laughter when I die in a hilarious way (for the first time at least).
