This is bullshit.
Computer games don't make people go crazy, craziness does. If a game like MW2 tipped you over the edge, you were going to go some time soon anyway. In fact, that guy is pretty stupid if he thinks MW2 is a simulation at all, MW2 is a game designed to make people buy it, which means it's easy. Whenever someone says "simulation" and they're not talking about ARMA II, they are wrong. And although I've never been a soldier, I doubt even that is anything like actually being in a fight.
Anyway I digress.. the point is, FPSes don't make you go crazy and kill people, just like watching porn doesn't make you have a 12 inch dick and playing VVVVVV doesn't turn you into a pixelated spaceship captain who can flip gravity.
