Abstract
The present paper discusses the ambiguity in the relation between violent behaviour and the way that violence is shown in video games.

This understanding will not only give us a better view of the common sense knowledge revolving on the matter, but it will also enable us to evaluate the discursive coherence that the gamers have concerning that violence.
