I remember having such a topic in one of my school's annual debate. It was an interesting topic, with both sides having equal amount of sufficient evidence to prove their point. The topic can be very arguable.
I personally think that although some video games contribute to the creation of aggression in the personalities of children, they were never the main factor. Our world itself is governed by wars and crime. Societies got used to such news everyday that it has become normal to children and thus, they are raised with a sense of aggression, with or without playing video games. A proof to that is that centuries ago, children used to play and practice fights among themselves. We used to do that when we were young; wrestling and sword fights. Maybe it is in out nature to be aggressive to those they hurt us and peaceful to those we love.
