Kindred

Yes, I read it. They discuss the shortcomings but offer no justification for it. What's more looking at other studies done into the effects of video games on behaviour have even shorter playing times. I don't recall ever having sat down to play ten minutes of any game, which is the methodology used in one of these studies.

Unless they look at the long term effects on aggression of a video gaming lifestyle we really can't trust these studies to tell us anything.

If you think otherwise, smoking does not cause lung cancer. We took 118 college students and tested them for lung cancer. We then gave them a cigarette with a sheet of paper on how to smoke it and came back 20 minutes later. We found that only those who had lung cancer before they smoked the cigarette had lung cancer afterwards.

Wow, talk about a useless study. The participants played the game for twenty minutes. I'm not sure that anyone was worried about the effects of twenty minutes of video gaming on college students. The suggestion that this is science is laughable.

I'm pretty sure what people are worried about is that a continual involvement with violent video games might lead to psychopathy. This study has not addressed this concern at all.

"I just like the keys better. Does anyone know if you can just use the keys?"
You like the keys better? How can you possibly know. Even if you've played another game that had stylus controlled movement it doesn't compare to PH's. Now I have played the game firstly, there is NO option to play with d-pad+buttons. The buttons plus a shoulder button are used to access menus and use your current item. If you're right handed you'll use the d-pad and the L Button. You can change your hand.

This Zelda controls brilliantly, and once you play it you'll know that D-pad wasn't an option.

Yes there is. And you do to some extent use buttons. You can open menu items quickly as well as use your weapon. Although the buttons work on both sides regardless of hand style.

Then how do you plan to play it? It's pretty much touch screen only. Trust me, having played the thing through, the controls are awesome.
