The so-called "first person shooter" games are basically off-the-shelf combat simulators. There was once some interest by the military in using these games, including Doom. I don't know how far they took it, but if they're using these kinds of games today, I would imagine they'd program their own.
While games are good at imparting some hand-eye coordination, problem-solving skills and team tactics, they can't teach you to shoot. That's a different set of motor skills.
And I don't think that violent games encourage actual violence. Millions of people enjoy violent games not to mention violent movies, violent books, etc. and lead perfectly normal lives.
