Prolonged time playing video games could cause people to lose concentration, get angry easily and have trouble associating with others, a Japanese professor’s research has suggested.
The newspaper article doesn’t say what kinds of game were tested – my guess is that if there is an effect it is with shoot-em-up-type games rather than the more cerebral ones I normally prefer…
Is it effect or cause? Perhaps distractible, short-tempered, antisocial people are more likely to spend lots of time playing video games, violent or otherwise.

That’s a load of bull! Video games have no effect on our minds. They are for our enjoyment
