I agree the line about "reflecting how we really are, deep inside" was a bit over the top. It's just that you need to look at it from the proper angle. That is, the game doesn't create the behavior, it is the way we are affecting the way we play the game. I don't advocate that violent behavior is caused by the media and I don't support censorship.
It just seems that the glee in which some gamers play the evil side is a little troubling. Hopefully it allows them to expend that energy in a way that is not violent in the real world.
