If you're talking about how the media portrays violent-video-games:violence causality, you could talk for pages about how apparently all gamers are prone to murdering everyone because they play violent video-games.
There's a LOT of literature already available.
The effects of violent video game habits on adolescent hostility, aggressive behaviors, and school performance A basic paper on how we're all murderers
An update on the effects of playing violent video games This paper is a good sum-up of research so far. Oh the humanity...
Just go on Google Scholar and type in something like "violence in videogames", or "media and violence" if you just want to talk about violence in general
