Recently a man named Alan Stirling, of Kemnay Gardens, Dundee, was originally charged with murdering Paul McDonald but the Crown accepted a guilty plea to culpable homicide. He has been jailed for four years after battering his friend to death in a row over a PlayStation. The High Court in Edinburgh heard Alan Stirling repeatedly punched and kicked Paul McDonald on the head and body. The incident took place when Mcdonald a friend of Alan was there on the latter's flat for watching a soccer game. The former fell asleep and later woke up to accidentally break the latter's playstation. In a fit of anger at the breakage of his playstation, Alan got bitten and lost his temper and attacked the Mcdonald. The court confirmed of Alan being a victim of Drug abuse.

The total incident come as a shocking incident in the country, because such incidents put to question the temper and mentality of today's people. People loose control of self so easily that they are very rapidly provoked to irritation and anger. In that state they do such ghastly acts, it's simply beyond imagination to describe the crimes they commit after that.What i feel this is also the effect of the games in the Playstations which are filled with violence and action, which also change the mindset of people making them increasingly aggresive and violent.

These things if left unnoticed can hamper the mental stability of many people who do not distinguish real world and game world. Hence they are very much influenced by this virtual violent world of action games which thus results in heinous crimes .More facts and news can be found in the following article: http://news.Bbc.Co.Uk/2/hi/uk_news/scotland/tayside_and_central/6485747.Stm
