Are computer games useful for us or they mess up our minds?

I think the whole computer game business is a mafia!
Computer game are good for nothing! I don’t know, they play with the mind using such a fine art.Using basic reward feelings etc and you are supposed to feel satisfied after that but NO, the feelings is different because it’s not real and most gamers do think it’s real, real life- game life=two different thinks, I think this is growing sickness and there are lot of victims, it’s worse than the TV!!! 1 hours spend playing a computer game cannot be compared anyhow to 1 hour spend with friends for example, one hour in real(i know there is no real but for the protocol) life. What do you think on that topic?

yep, your right.. computer games are designed to suck you in.. most of them started life in the money arcades, and where designed to suck you in and take your money.. now the gaming machines of old where run and operated by mafia families.. and the pintables and fruit machines. through to space invaders and galaxian.. all where using very basic rewards [points] to take your money.. this thing we have for one up man ship, is, and will be the future of all life..we’re getting to a point now where people would rather be at a terminal than to be with their freinds.. it sux, i know..
and as real life gets harder.. and your safer in, than out.. its going to get a whole lot worse.. but we do still have a choice in the matter..
we can switch it off……………. yeah right.!
