There is no forum for computer games, so I am lumping it here with the other major computing topic.

What of those who are addicted to computer games? Devices like the Wii games seem to be taking some of the danger out of this addiction because you can now be active at the same time as playing your games. So fitness will not suffer so much. But what of the rest of the damage? Can we overcome it?

Being active at the same time as playing games is a step in the right direction, but people can be and are addicted to video games. If you're spending time that you don't have playing... if your work or school or sleep is suffering, then you're probably addicted.

Well computer games are very danger for kids and us. It kills our times and many people spend more than 5 to 6 hours. Nowadays on internet people playing E-gold games and lost money in the games which is really bad for me.

I am fond of online gaming.Whenever I get time off from work , I visit my favourite gaming sites.Most of them either match you against others waiting for an opponent or you can play against the computer.They don't include any gambling sites and I don't see any harm in online gaming if I don't overdo it.The problem arises when we are addicted to online casinos.You start winning and keep gambling ,then you suddenly lose all the dough you earned.You try recouping atleast your invested money , but that never happens.

I have been playing a game at yahoo games for about 6 months now. I make sure that I take time for other things, such as walking at least 20 minutes, eating meals on time and work of course. I think that part of that balance comes from being desciplined and making sure that you do other things.
