Controversy on Video Game Violence

http://electronics.howstuffworks.com/video-game-violence2.htm

Layton, Julia. "Do Violent Video Games Lead to Real Violence?" howstuffworks.com. n.d. n.p. Web. 13 Oct. 2011.

This article explains how there has been a lot of controversy on if playing violent video games will lead to living a violent lifestyle. It says that the game industry itself is trying to prevent small children from playing violent rated M games. This, however conflicts with the intents of the people marketing the games-they are willing to sell it to anyone who will pay. The authors intent for this article was to educate people a little on what the video game controversy is about. The intended audience would most likely be anyone who wanted to learn more about the topic. There is a slight bias of the author thinking that video games don't affect the lifestyle of a person, but there are no fallacies. This article had some information, but not enough to make a sound argument.
