So, like sport, but without the exercise? Actually I agree with you about the mental side having some benefits, but I just don't see any specific benefit from the violence. Like you say, any other video game could provide the same.

There's an upcoming game called Shootmania that is an explicitly nonviolent FPS: guns fire bursts of light rather than bullets and slain characters sort of "derezz" like in Tron rather than bleed and gib. So maybe the violence is an optional component of this sort of game after all.
