Game Digest reports that Dr. Tanya Byron’s long-awaited report on the effects of video games and the Net on children will be released next Thursday, March 27th.

Games Digest writes:

There’s an air of foreboding surrounding the study considering it could have far reaching consequences for video games in the UK. It is expected, but by no means guaranteed, that the report will propose a mandatory ratings system to be applied to all games

in the UK.

GP: The release of the Byron report will surely be major news, both in the U.K. and abroad. We’re quite interested to see how Dr. Byron assimilated the available - and often conflicting - research on game violence and whether her report takes an objective view or panders to the current strain of anti-game sentiment running through undoubtful corridors of ability in England.
