No correlation at all. The most horrendous acts of violence has happened without video games. The only reason why people say that video games are the problem is due to the fact that they need something to blame. The link between video games and violence is there, but you have to realize that statistically almost EVERY child or teen has played video games, but you dont see EVERYONE killing people. Some people are just messed up in the head and so commit these atrocities. Other times, the media dont want to vilify the victims, and so portray the shooter as a deranged video game player, while in reality he was just a "nerd" and was picked on by the "cool people". the victims are then portrayed as angels who have never done a single wrong thing in their lives.
