I also have my iPhone and a few game and watch things.
At the moment we have the PSP, PS3, Xbox and Xbox 360 and all I play is GT5, F1 or Fallout 3 on my days off. The Xbox is on top of the wardrobe and the PSP gets used for films for the boy in the car. Other than that the boy plays on the consoles more than me BUT he still goes out cycling, plays football for his local football u9’s team and rugby for his local u10’s team.
Its good to get immersed in a game. I can’t go out and beat Lewis Hamilton to the race finish at Monaco, Hoon round the Top Gear test track in a Bugatti Veyron or shoot a mutated ghoul in the head till it explodes any other way can I?
I think the games CAN be addictive and CAN cause people to go on killing rampages but the person who goes on a killing spree because of the game must have had something wrong with them in the first place and as far as addiction goes if its in moderate doses as said earlier then its a bit of fun and harmless.
