Sede, the problem with that whole argument is that people all over the world play the same video games... yet there is no problem in most places from it.
I've played ideo games all my life and look at me; I turned out okay. I actually get quite suprised I read/hear that some gamers take things too far. I (used) play GTA all the time but I don't go around reenacting it.
I have schitzophrenia and I use video games as a therapy device. I set aside 4-5 hours a day. It can be more or less depending on my symptoms when my medicine don't work too well. It keeps my mind busy while I have these spasms and I lead a pretty normal life doing this.
Sometimes all of the above
Why is that, Gidget? did you read the rest of the comments here?
I think they shouldn't make video games so violent for children to play .

I voted "cause violence in children", but I'm not sure.
Computers & video games do not strap people down and prevent them from exercising if they want to. It is a personal choice, pure & simple.
Video games and computers are controversial. People don't exercise much because of them. I almost hate the computer!

K-9 - it is not the video games that make them obese, it is lazy parents who refuse to exert control over their child's activities ;> Kudos to you!
video games make kids lazy, I only let my kids play one hour a day, it they do good in school
To those answering obesity: A bad diet and lack of excercise cause obesity in kids, not video games.
