In GTA's case I'd say it's because it's not overly realistic and generally humorous.

Well, to be fair, most "people" try to kill us too. Rarely do we kill unarmed people who doesn't want to harm us.

In GTA I kill everyone who I cross paths with. Sometimes I go up to a group of gang members until they start shooting at me and I run to the closest cop car and let the cop take them out for me.

It is indeed interesting. We all enjoying things we can't do. What society deems as wrong. We like to be rebels and not have anyone control us. Games let us do that along with stuff humans just can't physically do. We are able to live out fantasies.

I know they're just "games," but just the fact that we all get entertainment out ofkilling people in video games confuses me. The other day I was playing GTA and was laughing as I ran over people on the sidewalk. Why are we this way?!?!? :P

I think it's just you that does that :P

Not a fan of the killing. Fan of the strength. You don't know awesome till your bashing someones haed in with a shield and burning them with a flame thrower.
