Mothers Against Videogame Addiction and Violence. Here's some samples.
FACT: Videogames have been proven to prevent the development of the proper social skills and interaction needed for a long happy and enjoyable life. Young gamers are prone to being burdened with depression and sadness all throughout their life
FACT: Health studies have found that even those casual gamers suffer from low self-esteem and self-pride compared to their athletic and more socially accepted peers in their same age group. Young gamers were found to be more likely to become lifetime gaming addicts and becoming social outcasts.
FACT: Hardcore gaming not only leads to videogame addiction and abrupt lifestyle changes, but to crime and felony as well. Hardcore gamers never buy computer videogames. Instead, downloading illegally copied videogames or “warez” is the only method acceptable by the underground. Buying a legit copy is grounds for abandonment by community groups. You may not be buying your child videogames, but they can illegally obtain them off the internet.
DANGER: Do Videogames make people violent?
Yes. What was once a debatable question, is now fact. New research has concluded that videogame violence and behavior related violence are in fact closely related.
There is also an article section which is apparently down for editing. With names like "E3: The Evil Entertainment Expo," it should be more interesting when they are back up.

DANGER: Do video games make people violent?
No, various social factors, especially lack of proper morals, are the causes of violence. Hormonal instability caused by puberty is also a very large factor.
Sì! Abbiamo un' anima! Ma è fatta di tanti piccoli robot.
The entire site was a hoax/school projet done by a College Communications Major. The idea was to create a site that would generate a 'net buzz' quickly and generate x-number of hits for their site. Needless to say the dude got an A, and is still confusing the hell out of people.
Its all bullshit, most of the information on it is complete fabrication and none of it should be taken seriously.
watchdog organiztion filled with over paranoid mothers.
