i "blame movies and games" only as a part of mass culture which treats violence as a common and even "cool" way to solve things rather than ultimate solution 'when all else fails'. Of cause, this is only part of the bigger picture, but it is most obvious one.
I have much the same opinion. Mass culture influences people and we increasingly have a problem of with many people lacking role models in their life. A lot of young people have no better teacher than the entertainment industry, a sad state of affairs. I'm irritated by entertainment that romantices violant struggle in daily life, things like rap records that drone on about fallen brothers and 'beefs'.
Media doesn't make people do anything but it's one aspect that influances people and shouldn't be ignored.
