"In the wake of the Sandy Hook shooting, multiple lawmakers and concerned interest groups in the USA decided that video games were to blame, and, as a result, ended up spending lots of time and money trying to prove it.Now, however, the official report from the Connecticut State Attorney has found no tie between the shootings and video games. While noting that the shooter, 20-year old Adam Lanza, did play video games, the games listed were of a wide range, and many other mitigating factors were much more likely to have contributed to the horrific attack.When it came to playing games, Lanza’s biggest obsession was with Dance Dance Revolution II, which he reportedly played at his local theatre nearly every weekend for “four to ten hours”."
