We're just speaking for us personally on this one, but video games haven't desensitized us to violence in the least bit. In fact, you could say that video games have made us more sensitive to it in that even the hint of a disemboweling can send us into spasms of delight, ecstatic in the knowledge that our gaming-honed thirst for blood will (temporarily) be slaked.Our feelings have now been backed up by some Finnish research, which found that players became "angry and anxious after killing an opposing character in James Bond 007: NightFire." Interestingly, the players also felt a sense of relief at being killed, which we guess is a comment on NightFire as much as anything else. What about you: Does in-game murder still have an effect on you?
