I tend to stick to the opinion that such "Conditioning", unless specifically directed towards making a person an effective killer is nigh-irrelevant to a person mature enough to understand a distinction between the (Albeit black and white) "Right and Wrong".
Or, at least, I must say that after playing Doom at the age of... 6... Or so, that I've turned out quite allright - I personally have a very low tolerance for Real Life violence. Somehow, I don't think that shooting up various characters in the games that I've played since then has played too much of a role in my childhood (Poor grooming habbits put aside.)
<Insert jest about violent impulses built up over ten years released in a violent outburst here>
