Human: What do you think about the link between violent videogames and real world violence?

Assistant: It seems to me that the evidence points both ways.  Some studies have shown that playing violent videogames can lead to increased aggression in players, while others have shown that playing violent videogames can help players de-stress.  Ultimately, it seems that both exposure to violent games and playing violent games can increase aggression in certain players and certain situations, and also that playing violent games can help players manage their aggression.
