Could playing video games make you violent?

Taken from a youth magazine "Club".

Yes, they do
1) Many video games make you "get even". It inspires unstable teenagers to get even in real life, too.
2) Seeing so many deaths, virtually killing others, listening to the noise make kids become immune to the horror and reality of death. It makes them fearless in a bad way.
3) The fontal lobe of the brain is responsible for controlling a person's behaviour. It does not grow fully until a person is about 20 years old.
4) Although video games have ratings, teenagers play such games meant for mature/adult people.
5) Video games are escapism - teenagers escape dealing with everyday duties or problems and their ability to deal with them worsens. When a real serious problem occurs, they might react in an exaggerated brutal way.
6) Video games desensitize youngsters, make them less emotional and numb. 
7) Your brain stores all violence as trauma and a young person may not know how to deal with the stress caused by it.
8) Video games are very attractive and young people get easily hooked. 

No, they do not
1) Video games aren't bad if they are controlled by parents. (parents control how much time and what games  a child can play)
2) Although there have been many studies about the impact, they give different results. 
3) Video games are fantasy for kids and fantasy has always been part of childhood.
4) It is claimed that only abnormal amount of hours spent playing violent video games starts to effect our brain and its development.
