Give me a break. If video games should be banned as they "inspire kids to be violent", why not ban television and literature as well? Television contains a lot more violence than video games, not to mention at a far more psychological level. You don't bump into your everyday in-movie lust murder in video games, you just face mindless monsters who head straight for the player upon sight. And literature, while not graphically violent, tends to contain a lot of psychological violence at times. If video games go, so should television and literature, it's as simple as that.
