Andi is 25. He spends his evenings shooting at tanks, Jeeps and military helicopters. Benni is 24. In his free time the trained road-builder battles Arab irregulars and Chinese invaders. Andi and Benni play Battlefield 2, a first-person shooter game. The Biblical commandment "Thou shalt not kill" is null and void on the battlefield. Do these games encourage or even cause violence? The question is old, but it is far from having been answered.
