There has never been proof that violent games effect people. Heck...i've played them for ages and I don't have any violent tendancies. 
Why? Because I know it's fake. Blood in a game doesn't bother me AT ALL...but seeing blood in real life...no way man, I'd freak out.
Now..sex in games is another matter all together...
I DO think that effects a person. Unlike violents in games...nudity and sex in games doesn't leave anything to the imagination...you can't FAKE nudity..it's nudity..that's it. And it CAN effect you very easily.
btw. Doctor Who ROCKS...one of the best written shows ever.

All your base are belong to us
Many of God's people were fighters.
David was 'A man after God's heart'. He wasn't allowed to build the temple though, because he was a warrior. His son Solomon completed that task.
Every little thing we do counts. When you choose to do good instead of evil, when you choose to help a person.. when you choose to say something nice instead of just being grumpy.. we define our character as we go, and our character is the only thing we can take with us from this life as we move on.
Who am I to say you should or should not play violent computer games?
Learn what's good for you, and most importantly, include God in whatever you do.

These are but the games ..
Nothing happens in real, I too always played violent games and it gave me no violent thoughts.
Besides, how can one ignore San Andreas, Enter The Matrix or Max Payne?This is extremely great entertainment. Or Constantine. Pure rock!

I don't see an issue with it unless it gets in the way of getting in the Word, fellowshipping, etc. I sometimes have a problem with getting angry, when I get to that point I try to turn off the game.
