A law in the state of Michigan which bans the sale of violent video games to minors has been ruled by a US District Court judge as unconstitutional.

Federal District Judge George Caram Steeh claimed that the ruling was based on a lack of substantial evidence to show violent video games cause minors to have aggressive feelings or engage in aggressive behaviour.
