In defense of violent video games

In a study that seems to have gotten surprisingly little coverage, researchers have found that violent video games, "help teens deal with their emotions like stress and anger." They also said that the games don't cause violence.

At the risk of saying "I told you so," I've been citing this as a benefit of video games for some time. It is also consistent with my experience as a video game player. I'm glad someone seems to have found some proof for the idea.
