there is actually a casual link between violent games and violent behavior (source here later when i get around to looking for it)

the thing is, a correlation doesn't prove causation. The data linking the behavior and the games could just as easily prove that violent people tend to flock towards violent video games as it could prove that violent video games make people behave violently.

off topic: +1 internets to mindspank for the House quote.
