Although, I thought it was interesting that the 'violent video game' that they used in their research was World of Warcraft. Sure, there is some violence (if you call walking for 20 minutes a violent activity ^_^) but, you would think they would use an actual violent video game, like oh, I don't know, Grand Theft Auto, Assassin's Creed, God of War, etc.
I mean, even ESRB rates WoW as T for Teens, how violent can it be? But I do agree, that playing a round of WoW (or any game that you like for that matter) can take the stress off the day.
On a side note, I think it's funny that people will attack games like GTA for being too violent, but they don't mind their kids playing songs on Guitar Hero that were at one time deemed pretty offensive. But it's all good, it just means those kids will grow up to appreciate good music ^_^
