It depends on the person playing the games, some people can handle it and some might be easily influenced.

my 13 year old son had a great chance to be a professional golfer and since x-b-x and ip-d he has lost his ability to play well. Try and tell me that online games aren`t a disaster and see what i tell you.

I would simply like to state a personal side to this argument.. After going through cancer at the age of 6 and having my left leg amputated, i naturally turned to videogames as a form of entertainment over more physical activities such as sports. I love video games. I probably play more than i rightfully should, but I don’t go insane. Yes i’ve pulled the occasional all-nighter on weekends, but who hasn’t? Now as a freshman in college, I am proud to say that even though i missed 3 out of 8 high school semesters due to surgery, I was able to graduate on time, with honors. During those 3 semesters, spread between freshman and junior years, i homeschooled myself while heavily medicated on prescribed narcotics. I graduated with a 3.1 GPA, because my grades slipped down to B’s and C’s during those time periods. However, how could they not when i was gone from class for 2 or 3 months at a time? I am also proud to say that upon taking the ACT, i received a 31 the first time, without studying. I have been asked by the military to ake part in their nuclear engineering program. I would like to think that I am not aggressive, but it is difficult to judge one’s own personality. I do not think video games have made it difficult for me to focus, or have caused emotional issues. yes, violent video games have more aggressive players, but those are people already aggressive from home issues that are looking for a way to express their anger. violent video games simply segregates them, not increases their probability. Another factor may be how parents choose to censor their children. rated M for mature, is just that. There is a reason you have to be 17 or older and ahve I.D. to purchase the game. Parents that buy Call of Duty for their 10 year old kid wonder why he seems so spoiled. You would send a pre-teen to war would you? Then why give him a war simulation that is visually accurate with skippable levels designated as “may contain disturbing content” focused towards the adults that play it? The average gamer in america is 35 years old. Just because it is a game does NOT mean it is for kids.

ADHD and ADD will always be problems everywhere and video games wont help or make this worse. Video games are only bad when there is something reinforcing those violent tendencies so eventually they will come out and that wont be because of video games. So get your facts straight and lets see you be 1st prestige in COD without becoming addicted.
