     Actually it would make sense that a car game would have more of this effect than a shooter. In a shooter you're sitting ther, bitching because you have no periphials, oh and see the screen get red when you were hit? As opposed to a car game where you sit in what is likely a similiar poistion to that when you are driving, looking through glass (on a comp it would be within a few feet infront of you) and playing with the radio stations. Well, on GTA games anyway... It seems to me that there are some serious diferences between the two as far as how we perceve it. A good driving game can be damn similar to actual driving, you still can't look side to side but that's not really something you'd want to do as much driving as walking.
     By the by, nobody is suggesting actual death's are occuring due to games, he was asking about the urge. Heh, and c'mon, I don't play many shooters and I don't even have a gun and I've felt an urge to headshot a few people... You people haven't? Felt the urge? Just a little even if you'd never consider acting on it? Not even a little?
