Depends upon what type of games are you playing.. as they say.. Excess of anything is Bad.. so better don't play it in excess, give it a limited time there are benefits in gaming also, but excess ruins it..
It's a been habit, but have you tried the following games? http://www.rescreatu.com http://www.aywas.com - they're so easy to play
depends from what angle you view it, some people consider it good and others not. I think it could be good if done in a timely manner.
Games are good and bad both..... games are good when used or played to get stressed out or fresh n up your mind....but games are bad too, games are bad when used or played unnecessarily.
Games are good of course but too much of adherence to them will take away a lot of our time. We become an addict to these games.
It's good as it's relaxing and fun, however can also waste a lot of time which could be better spent.
I am a game designer(level designer) and i think games are good, this is what gives some hope to the people...(like World of Warcraft and more)
So long as you treat it as a fictitious form of entertainment and dont let it run your life, its all fine and good.
I think that when it comes to entertainment, I compare games to TV or films, at least games keep you more mentally active and involved than TV, of course like everyone one says too much is a bad thing, but the same can be said for all entertainment. Plus with a more personal opinion these days TV and film tend to rely alot more heavily on mass appeal and quality often suffers considerably, games can tend to hit much more niche markets which gives their story writers a lot more freedom to be interesting with their content and I often can find games (of certain genres) to be alot more thought-provoking than any other mainstream media.
