There's quite a bit of empirical evidence available that have repeatedly demonstrated a lack of even correlation between playing violent videos games and being violent. It's all very easily available by praying to google, so I won't link them here.

The thing I really want to say is that this is all really obvious when you stop and think about it. If there was an actual causal link between playing video games and becoming violent, we would expect much more violence than we actually see. For some reason, no one seems to look at it that way, though.
