There are LOTS of non-violent games out there:
Animal Crossing
World of Goo
The Adventures of P.B. Winterbottom
Samorost 2
Bejeweled
Bookworm
Fantastic Contraption
The Professor Layton series
Nelson Tethers: Puzzle Agent
The Ace Attorney series
Picross
Polarium
Electroplankton
… and I shouldn’t have to go on and on and on. The idea that games are solely driven by violence and negativity is complete and utter bullshit!
Oh, and for those that don’t know, so called “casual gamers” playing Bejewelled, Farmville, Bookworm, Solitare etc. Often log more hours playing than “hardcore gamers” playing Halo. The casual game market is huge. Games are about play, not about violence.
