I don't know if this boy played these games but i'm assuming he did as most youngsters do now days, i just wonder if these games do more harm than good, on young impressionable young minds.

And i do think he should get life.
No, blaming games, films or anything else other than the killer just gives them a scapegoat. Games do not create killers, anything can trigger a killer to act even a lack of a trigger can be a trigger in itself. Blaming things like games for this is just a waste of everyone's times.

Millions of people play GTA, Assassin's Creed and COD so why don't we have millions of killers about if they have an adverse effect? Blaming games is just a way of absolving the killers of blame.
