    Video games have been around for nearly 70 years, and its primary purpose is to provide entertainment to its audience. There have been many types of video game genres that are suited for certain targeted individuals. With the advance of technology nowadays such as movies and sports, there have been video games that have been derived from these forms of media. From games for toddlers to adult themed games, there are games for every age group out there. Some of these may not be suitable for certain demographics such as young children should not be playing violent and gory video games.
    One may be led to believe that playing violent video games leads an individual to ultimately become violent; however, this theory has been proven wrong as experts have been able to come up with a theory that playing video games does not affect an individual's behavior. The study concluded that kids who played these games for a longer period of time tended to be more hyperactive and made them more likely to get into fights. Kids who played video games for less than an hour a day were less aggressive and rated as better-behaved.
    This goes to show that playing violent and gory themed video games does not mean that one will become aggressive and violent. However, there is an exception in that if a child plays these games for an extended amount of time, their tendencies to become violent is much higher, otherwise there really is no correlation between video games and violence.
