A new study of gamers has found that racing games, not shooters, provokes the highest level of aggression in players. Simon Goodson and Sarah Pearson of the University of Huddersfield put 30 gamers through their paces on three separate Xbox 360 games, Project Gotham Racing, an unnamed FPS and a “3-D table tennis game,” monitoring physiological changes such as breathing and heart rate as well as other factors related to aggression before and after each game. The researchers were surprised to find the greatest changes in heart rate and brain activity were actually brought about by Project Gotham Racing, while […]http://cdn.themis-media.com/media/global/images/galleries/display/56/56183.jpg
