Idea's For Literature Review

I often hear friends and professionals complain about violence in the world today.  Stricter gun regulations are a controversial topic in West Virginia.  Often people blame video games for violence.  I want to find some true statistics on the correlation between violence and video games.  So I chose the question, "What is the relationship between video games and violence?"

Here are articles I have found to help me answer this question:

• Video games aren't to blame for violence
• Video games a scapegoat
• Video game playing and its relations with aggressive and prosocial behaviour
• Video game violence and aggression: Comments on 'Video game playing and its relations with aggressive and prosocial behaviour'
• Continuing controversy over video game content: Debate over violence- filled video games has been raging for more than 10 years
• Video games--good or bad?

In addition, I do want to point out the characteristics of a "good game" by using the following references from the course:

• GOOD VIDEO GAMES AND GOOD LEARNING
• Why Are Video Games Good For Learning?*
