You would think that if a person was truly serious about trying to blame video games on all the violent wrong-doings in today's society, that said person would do more than merely accuse without providing any sort of legitimate references to studies that back up her theories, or that she would even be able to list a single game that actually cause rape or murder.  This lady has done neither, and is quickly to be considered one of the biggest buffoons in her industry.

Quotegames like Bulletstorm cause violent behavior and, since rape is a violent crime, ?Ergo, there is no question that [violent videogames] cause an increase in rape."

That basically sums the whole article up.
