Playing hockey on PS2 makes me more violent because I suck at it. It makes me angry. I'm liable to pull a Brad Richards and throw my controller/knock the controller out of my opponent's hand.

I'm afraid that I can't see there being enough controls in that particular experiment. I mean heck, there are violence 'genes' found in males... should we do DNA testing and make sure all those with the gene can't play such games? Did that experiment take into consideration upbringing and other factors? So people get agressive... isn't that a natural reaction when your desire is to win?
