"I know video games can be detrimental to to someone growing up. Just small issues like eyesight problems and not eating (I've got problems with both of those).."
Never though of it in those manners, but I also have those problems, I now wear contact lenses and when playing certain games my diet does suffer.

"Yeah, I'm worried too. Video games in and of themselves aren't dangerous to kids, but without proper parental control they can be extremely harmful. "
I think you've hit the nail on the head. Without boundaries gaming can be dangerous .
I have been playing video games ever since I can remember. Space Invaders and Prince of Persia on my dads ancient PCs, to MSG4 on my PS3. I must admit that gaming does take up alot of my time, but I see it as a passion. Being 21 I can say that gaming has not ruined my life. I am not obese, anti-social or delinquent. What worries me though is the growing number of youth that are or are becoming that way.
I recently went to a friends house and his little brother and friends sat playing games for hours and never once joined me or my friends to play football or even eat properly. I am sure this is not a single case and though I am sure video games are not the sole blame, Do you think that Video Games can be detrimental to a persons growing up?
Well i though Rock had won this one but hey there is NO GOOD ROCK MUSIC ATM. Being in the UK I am not into what the music scene is offering I hate Indie and the pretences that go with it. I love both Hip Hop and Rock.
Fav Artists:
Limp Bizkit Linkin Park N*E*R*D Enter Shikari Lupe Fiasco Jay-Z
After studying 3D Animation and Games Art at university I can say that Europe has always be a leader in producing great games. Its great to see games from different parts of the world not just the States. Rockstar North are a great example of what talent is available over in the country and its just a slight shame that budgets and politics mean that studios are having to transfer state-side.
As for being royally fucked over, I agree we are now finally getting games on a universal release date and some even before hand. Though for some reason in Europe Especially the UK we get charged extortionate price for games and hardware. One would have though with the pound being so strong that us brits may have the upper hand but no.
