The media and certain vocal groups like to portray games in certain negative ways but the research hasn't backed up a lot of their claims.

Exactly, games do not make you kill people. Period. If you blame a game for making you kill somebody you are an idiot, you would of killed somebody regardless, the game didn't make you a killer. The douchebags in the media like to blame music for murders too which is also utter crap. If entertainment affects you at all it helps, allowing you to get out any urges on some pixels instead of flesh and blood.
Basically if you blame violence on entertainment, you are an idiot who should be shot.
We should ban people who blame violence on games and music because they give me urges to kill them...
