I recall reading something recently, that people are actually less involved in video games than in films, as the fact they have to control the player actually distances themselves more from the game, because they're constantly reminded of the barrier between the game and real life.
The "interactive" arguement is complete horseshit. Controlling a video game character that kills someone, is nothing like killing someone in real life, regardless of whether you're in control or not. Shooting a video game character, that isn't alive, and can't think for itself, is entirely different from shooting a real, live person, with thoughts, feelings, family, etc.
