With the election season creeping up alongside the release of Grand Theft Auto IV, it’s inevitable that we’ll see (even more) politicians, pundits, and authors decrying video games as a cause — nay, the source — of all social evils. But not all authors jump on the bandwagon, and a new book takes research on the topic of game violence in a radically different direction.
Game Couch has an interview with Dr. Cheryl K. Olson, the co-author of Grand Theft Childhood: The Surprising Truth About Violent Video Games. Based on data from a joint research study from Massachusetts General Hospital and Harvard Medical School, the book asserts that many studies on the topic of game violence have been skewed by various factors, including smaller sample sets, lower time playing, bias against media violence, and conducting the studies around games that the children didn’t choose for themselves.
The Resident Evil series, which has sold over 34.5 million units globally (as of February 29, 2008), is one of Capcom’s most critically acclaimed and beloved franchises.

”Resident Evil:The Umbrella Chronicles” is a gun shooting game which features a variety of characters from past Resident Evil titles, and fleshes out key storyline elements of the series. This title takes advantage of the Wii’s unique remote control-styled controller, the “Wii Remote” and “Nunchuk”, and when these two components are combined with the special Wii controller, the “Wii Zapper”, it turns into an even more engrossing and exciting experience.
