Do we play too many games?

Are We Playing Games Too Much?

*EDIT* THIS ARTICLE WAS NOT WRITTEN BY ME. it is posted up on Pspupdates.com

Yup, you heard me, are we playing too many video games? There's a million different answers to that question, and it all depends on who you're asking. The girlfriend/wife? Yes. Your parents/relatives? Yes. Yourself? Hell, no.

Well, it seems some people out there ARE actually interested in breaking the gaming habit, as reported today by the Dallas Morning News. In an article published today, the newspaper profiles a number of parents who say their children are too addicted to games.

By coming down on them and disciplining them, the parents have had some success in curbing their polygon-induced nirvana. Thirteen-year-old Cooper says it best: "My dad takes the GameCube away when we're playing it too much. The first week we're miserable and then we forget about it. We go outside, play basketball, play with friends, run around like crazy. After a while, you're having more fun."

More fun ... than, dare I say, fragging?! I think not.

Perhaps Dr. Ken Haller, of the Saint Louis University School of Medicine, who offers tips for parents, is the wisest of all when he says: "If you can't beat them, join them. Family time can include playing a video game." Rock on, Ken. Rock on.

What do you think? Are we playing too many games? Or not playing enough? Chime in all ye faithful.

(Psst. Dr. Ken Haller's Gamertag is "Hallerback69.")

personally i think not.

Whatever. If you play to much games, it's ok. But for those people out there wh oaren't in shape, and all they do day after day is play games, should exercise too. What I'm trying to say is, playing games is fine, but too much is not good.

Maybe you sho;uld have put that whole thing in this format:
" "

I can easily tell right away its from updates. But the thing I caught was this phrase:
"

That tells me ur trying to make them think u wrote it. But anyways I dont care.
Anyways back on topic, but this guy it wasnt video games, it was playing on the computer too much. One night he played on the computer and didnt get off it for a second. He stayed on for two days straight without food or water given to him. And on the second night, he had a heart attack.
I dont think its video games we play too much, I think its pcs. Their soo addicting tho!!!!!!!
But screw the guy who made this,
VIDEO GAMES ROCK! And plusI mostly play megaman 8 most of the time, so heres what I say:
HOW CAN THAT GAME BE SOO FREAKING ADDICTING WHEN I DIE LIKE EVERY 5 SECONDS AT THE START OF A LEVEL?

i know its from updates the only thing i actually wrote was the " personally i think not" maybe i guess i should start linking it.

actually i dont play enuff

well for example i just got coded arms for psp today... and i been playin it for 6 hours straight...I ALMOST BEAT IT THO... hahahha so ya i think i over do it a bit

i never got past colloses

is colloses regarding coded arms? cuz i never encountered any hting like that yet i think...

colosus is a boss at the end of the factory(idk if its the factory or some other lvl) i am at infinity lvl 152 lol. i think i have a problem.

actually, we are not playing enough games....

But back on topic... why worry about something that isnt harmful... when thiers aids,cancer,boy bands, girl bands, teen pregnancy,george bush, and an insane amount of people addicted to hard drugs like heroin and meth

cant wait to get my one apartment with room mates, wireless internet, and lan parties on da weekends
