All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy, yes. But playing violent games will make Jack an aggressive boy. Video games have clearly been an all time favorite among teenagers. The kind of kick and thrill involved in these mind gripping video games are the reasons why so many kids are hooked onto their PlayStations and XBoxes for such a long time. However, violence based games leave a negative impact on the mind of the users. Violence-based games feature settings of realistic crimes, battles and other situations involving a lot of bloodshed, slaughtering and barbaric attacks. The main reason why these games are not psychologically suitable for players is because they get totally involved in virtual killings, which are usually in first person role play formats and are the key to win the game. Since the players are usually youngsters with their fragile frame of mind, it gets difficult for them to properly discriminate between real and virtual experiences. Such video games demand players to simulate actions, such as killing, stabbing, shooting, or mutilating someone with an ax, gun and other weapons. High levels of gruesome graphics and cruel actions might also leave the player being insensitive towards causing harm to someone in real life. These factors collectively influence the person’s behavior which is reflected in their social interaction.

Various studies conducted over the subject have noted that video games involving brutality and inhumane actions are linked to an increased level of aggression and destructive behavior among the players. However there are some counter theories that beg to differ, saying that such games don’t leave a long term, negative effect on the players.
