A 2005 study shows that exposure to violent video games reduces P300 amplitudes in the brain, which contributes to desensitization to violence and increased aggressive behavior (Pg1, procon). Additionally, young children confuse fantasy violence with real-world violence and imitate things they see in games such as World Wrestling Entertainment. Violent video games also train young people to become killers. For example, in 2002, the US Army released the first-person shooter America's Army to recruit soldiers and prepare recruits for combat.
