This can all be proved wrong after police searched the killers property finding no reference to games.

No video games found in VT shooter's dorm

Video games were one of the first things blamed for the recent shootings at Virginia Tech. Dr. Phil and a certain Floridiot lawyer were two of the loudest voices, while an article in the online version of the Washing Post briefly mentioned Cho was a Counter-Strike player in high school. Not a big deal in our eyes, but to the general public if Cho even looked at a video game, it's case-closed.
After police searched Cho's dorm room, however, it seems he didn't own any video games at all. No murder simulators or gun training programs, not even a copy of Tetris. If video games didn't teach him these skills, where did they come from?! Oh noes!
We've posted our feelings about violent video games. Hopefully this lack of evidence will silence the anti-gaming pundits for a while.

That's dispicable, almost the calibur of a crime. Like if I play RE4 I'll become a chainsaw maniac. But then... maybe I can join Kindrika's chainsaw clan...

What a horrible person. I can't believe only hours after such an event he would be on TV trying to spin it to fit his personal agenda.
Whether they were to find that Cho was influenced by gaming or not, Thompson's heart was not in the right place there.

Thompson receives 'Jacklash' in a week

It doesn't matter how many times he experiences failure or comes close to no longer being able to practice law -- there is always somebody willing to listen to Jack Thompson. No time was this more obvious than this week following the Virgina Tech massacre. Before the dead were counted, the shooter named or anyone really could wrap their brain around what had just happened, Thompson was already on Fox News as a "school shooting expert" spouting theories and Fox News let it slide without challenge.
The situation was exacerbated Tuesday when the Washington Post impulsively reported video game related information they later retracted. By mid-week information was starting to turn against Thompson and even Hardball's Chris Matthews wasn't buying what Thompson was selling anymore. By yesterday the "Jacklash" was in full effect, the boulder rolled down the hill again and Jack "Sisyphus" Thompson will have to start over again -- without the help of using Take Two as his punching bag.
In GamePolitics' recap of the week's events they have a quote from the International Game Developers Association's Jason Della Rocca who says, "It's so sad. These massacre chasers - they're worse than ambulance chasers - they're waiting for these things to happen so they can jump on their soapbox." But as sure as the sun will rise and the moon will set, Jack Thompson is already rolling his boulder back up the hill waiting for the next tragedy that he can blame on video games.

Sadly enough, I was watching Meet the Press which is hosted by Tim Russert, and they had a big thing on the whole VT incident. 2 people on the show were actually going to be on the panel to investigate what happened. I heard with my own two ears Russert bring up how this might have been video game related because this wacko was into them. I wanted to scream... No one wants to take responsibility for anything anymore, they just want to find a quick and easy thing to blame. The problem is that if you don't find the REAL reason why people do these things, they'll just keep doing them.

At least Jack looks like a total douche now because games had no part whatsoever.
