This doesn't turn people into murderers, obviously, but I have little doubt that the impact of exposure to interactive violence isn't beneficial. Neither are violent movies and shows, but they are not as engaging.
As fjtorres pointed out, that's just frustration at our own perceived incompetence. Nothing to do with the violence, which according to my philosophy is actually a mitigating factor!
