Writing paper on video games and violence

I have to write a short paper on video game related violence for a psych class I am taking. The paper doesn't have to be very long, 3-4 pages, but I am having difficulty finding much information on violence related to video games/internet... can anyone think of some recent things that have happened "because of video games", like the people killed because someone sold their sword, or woman who killed fiance because he was playing too many video games.

EDIT: What I am trying to prove in my paper is that video games don't cause violence... thinking about putting something about jack thompson in there as well
 
i wrote 2 papers on thsi back in HS( like 8 years ago) 1 4 pager and 1 10 pager, just google for stuff the info is out there
 
Hmm, all the examples I can think about are several years old, and they were not really linked to aggressive video games.

I wrote a paper saying the exact opposite of you paper, it was a work of art.

Jack Thompson probably hates me by now.
 
Go over to ArsTechnica.com and search there, they have good coverage of the frequent attempts to link violence to gaming.

Fora more, uh, "unusual" anti-gaming viewpoint, search on lawyer Jack Thompson.
 
you can't find anything becuase it doesn't exist. you would be better of writing a paper about video games and seizures.

games don't make people violent, brain chemicals and othe chemicals do
