Video games, by themselves, do not cause aggressive behavior. Aggressive behavior roots from many, many reasons. The main reasons being parents behavior around the children, the child's friends' behaviors, those who pick on the child (if applicable), the shows the children watch, and maybe even the books the child reads. These are just some of the more common factors that could cause aggressive behavior, but there are plenty out there, maybe even some that are completely out-there and make no sense in any person's mind.

That being said, I do think heavy playtime of extremely violent video games may be a contributing factor in aggressive behavior, but it shouldn't be the first thing people blame for aggressive behavior in a child.
