According to a recent UK survey, players of first-person shooter games like Battlefield and Call Of Duty: Modern Warfare tend to get angrier than players of Mario Kart, The Sims and even Angry Birds. Fans of the two titles were more inclined to hurl insults, break gaming equipment and indulge in fits of rage. However, people should also be wary of Animal Crossing, whose players aren't always of a sunny, carefree disposition.

In a recent study, which will be of interest to parents worried about all the time children spend playing video games, American psychologists found that fans of Call Of Duty: Modern Warfare, Battlefield and FIFA were more aggressive than those who preferred titles like Candy Crush.
