The purpose of the violence is key to determining it's nature.
Someone playing Civilization would be violent or benevolent to expand their empire. Or defending themselves from the wrath of Gandhi (OG gammers will get that).
Someone playing Mass Effect will be waging war to end it. Rallying his or her forces under a single goal ''Survival". Or sacrificing the few to save the many.
Playing Dragon Age will give the player a chance to go down a path of revenge. Hunting those who wronged you or putting the past behind you for the sake of the future.
Starcraft allows players to enter a battle of wit and strategy. An elaborate game of Chess set in a distant future.
Your question is far more complicated then you realize. In the end it comes down to the individual. How was he' she raised?. Did his or her parents distill morals and values upon said individual?. Did he or she have a positive male role model in their live?. Ect. ect. ect.
You can't blame video games, Mcdonald's, or Tyler Perry for the folly of a nation.
Raise your kids people. Raise your kids.
