I think if there's a game to be banned, it must be grand theft auto(and sequels).

Not at all.
Quake, half life, and CS all put you in specific fictional scenarios where you fight fictional enemies. In GTA style games, you are in the city and exercise direct violence on the innocent people. I'm sure that stuff can be an incentive for some crack nuts, as a matter of fact I seem to remember a juvenile going a shotgun spree under the influence of GTA, but I'm not sure ... possibly in the US though where that kind of stuff is common anyway.

I do not say that all people playing GTA are subject going to killing sprees, but it can trigger some switches in some people.

Well. CS may or may not be fiction. My point is, it takes place whole in a confined area, where you fight your enemy and not anyone else, AFAIK.
