A lot of interesting thoughts, but it seems to me that it really all boils down to one's personal intent with the game. The game is neither good nor bad, positive nor negative. It is the individual that, feeling the emotions while playing the game and then taking those thoughts and reactions and processing them into the matrix of the mind, that cause an effect on the individual. Just as two different people can have radically different responses from the same situation, so to can individuals receive different polarizations (or none at all) from the playing of a game.
It seems to me that one should look first at what draws them to the game. In some cases it may provide an opportunity for balance to offset or allow assimilation or understanding of some other experience. Similarly, these games may be helpful if one feels the need to express this side of themselves without infringing on another's free will. Remember that "controlling" or "supressing" even "negative" emotions is strongly discouraged in the LOO, because to do so is to deny the One Infinite Creator an opportunity to experience itself. Rather, one should find a non-infringing way to have the experience (fantasy is also recommended), and then seek to balance these emotions with their offsetting Love.
So I think that there is a very useful place for even the most violent games, if they are used appropriately. Most users though, probably gain neither positive or negative polarization from such activities, and rather find them as another convenient excuse to remain spiritually asleep.
