This is just the next trend in the "pass the blame" mentality for parents that feel justified when they admit they've lost control of their kids. In the 80's we wanted to blame the heavy metal and rap, so we slapped a warning label on the CD and all was good.
In the 90's there was Beavis and Butthead turning kids into arsonists. Beavis stopped saying "fire" and all was good again. Around the turn of the millenium, movies were too violent so studios opted to turn out more PG-13 movies and all was good.
Now we have the video games ruining the country and turning us into killing machines. Slap a sticker on it and wait for the next victim to blame as the pussification of America continues.

The journalist could have pointed out that the top rating of "silent assassin" in the Hitman series is only achieved if you kill NOBODY but the person you have been tasked to kill...sometimes without a gun...in one case with a dead FISH!! (this is actually true).

Brining that up wouldn't support their bullshit adgenda they are trying to force us into believing. Also, it's very likely that the author never sat down and played it. The article is probably based on second-hand information.
The problem with psych issues (especially controversial issues) is that for every study that comes to one condition, there is another that equally refutes it.
