Violent video games have been around for a long time. If you are suggesting that they are causing an increase in violence, I would be very skeptical unless you provided an actual study that showed this, rather than one person's opinion. If anything they are an outlet for violent energy, in my opinion, rather than a catalyst for it.

It's just surprising that 1) given the "senseless urban violence" content of the game and 2) a recent increase in violence in the UK that they'd even be considered for this exemption. However, a character like Soap MacTavish and the references to the SAS in the CoD series would be a worthy contender!
