I remember when the shootings happened and many in the media wanted to claim videogames were behind the shooting, and of course nobody was speaking more on the subject that Jack Thompson. Today, however, the official report has come out and prove Jackie Boy wrong. As it turns out, the only videogame even being listed as being played was Sonic the Hedgehog.

From the article:

The final report of Governor Tim Kaine’s Virginia Tech Review Panel has been made public, and video games are NOT identified as a factor in the massacre.

Quite the opposite, in fact. The only game cited as being played by Cho is Sonic the Hedgehog. An overall non-involvement with games is detailed by his college roommates.

In Chapter IV, Mental Health History of Seung Hui Cho, video games are mentioned several times, but not as any type of causal factor in the April 16th shootings.
