Computer games, the single greatest invention since the wheel. But which console do you play them on? I personally am a true nintendo loyalist

Play Station is getting better and better if you ask me, at least for me that i like soccer games, and they have winning eleven, oh yeah, and vice city

Sony is hardly getting better. Did you watch/read about E3? Sony got wasted, microsoft got wasted. Nintendo won :P

I am in the sony camp now as well. Although I wish the original atari line would come back. That was old school.

I was never allowed to play video games as a kid, so I didn't get into them until right around the time the PS2 came out. I bought one, and have been really happy with it. I like it so much, I would rather not have to invest in a PS3.

What kind of horrible parents did you have!

;D ;D

Do you think not playing video games growing up was good or bad for you?

I have a PS2. Does well for me...no desire to change

I don't think it had much effect on me either way. I could still play games when I went to a friend's house, for example. I don't think playing video games or not has a big effect on children, unless they play them so much that it interferes with their schoolwork or social life. I probably would have been about the same as I am now.

I guess it would not be a bad idea to limit how many hours a day kids can play video games. At least the games are more interactive than television and teach them competition.

And some have been shown to improve spatial skills and hand-eye coordination. I think when they're played in moderation, they're fine.
