I'm astounded by some of the negative responses on here. I've just had a look at Chapter 6 ("Video Games: The Evidence") and it presents an excellent survey of the academic literature on the effects of video games. It is presented in layman's terms so her conclusions are clear even to a non-psychologist. There is virtually nothing there to support the Jack Thompsons and Keith Vazes of the world. Rather, she goes out of her way to expose some of the problems with the research which purports to show that video games cause violent behaviour. I really think that it is worth reading at least some of what she has written before commenting on here.
