This is pretty old but it isn't just video games that bring behaviour like this. If you watch television, and go to CNN all they show is war, people killing eachother without sorting their problems out with reason.
Playing a killing game 18 hours a day probably isn't that great either but you can't blame it solely on Halo. Their are many shooters out there that have people doing stuff like this. I doubt you'll see a WoW player go on a killing frenzy though.
"Did The Dark Knight garner more attention and turn out bigger because of Heath's death? Yea I most certainly think so. As great as it was to have Bale return as Bruce/Batman, the big focus always seemed to be on Heath Ledger as the Joker. Then take a look at other movies where the same thing of one of the actor's for a big role dies. The Crow anyone? Of course that didn't turn out nearly as big as The Dark Knight, but it most certainly turned more heads because of Brandon Lee's death. Had he lived, that would not have happened. Would the movie been any less worthy of the praise it got, though? Definitely not. And the same applies to TDK: it got more attention, and turned more heads because of Heath's death, but the praise it got is--in my opinion--completely irrelevant to that event."
