Just to prove that we still can't get accurate information to the politicians, we have here a study showcasing violence based not on the action itself, or the violence and blood and so on, but on the actual amount of time that any level of "violent" act is being accomplished.

For your reading pleasure.

Yanno... when we were kids... we played Pac-Man for hours... many of us knew the patterns by heart. Never once did we think of "voilence". Pac-Man was about 2 things.

1) The almighty score!
2) Getting all those darn dots.

The only thing better than Pac man is describing it to someone who's never heard of it.

Wow.. umm... yeah. That's pretty sad that the senate decided to list pac-man as a violent video game. and Centipede. Hmmmmm.
Harvest Moon & Excite Bike are the only two games that I can think of that wouldn't be listed as violent by these standards.
