Why're game ratings higher? Control.
In a film, if something violent happens you didn't cause it, you may not have wanted to see it. It's not caused by you and so it's impersonal.
Playing a bit of GTA. Oooh yeah i just popped that guy's skull open using my bare penis! +100 points. Not only control, but rewards for the violence. thus encouraging it.
Trust me, i'm a psychologist!

Any normal person would realize that it's the character in the video game and not yourself who is causing it. You might be controling it, but you are not doing the damage with your very own hands. You are sending electric surges trough a wire to a computer that tells the character to do what it does. If you somehow think you can make a link between controling a game character and bashing someone's skull in in real life, you need to be locked away.
And... please leave the 'logist' out of the word...
