Certainly, games that glorify killing police are immoral like one I won’t name that shows an officer in a uniform like those worn by Chicago police. The officer is brutally murdered after begging for his life. Other games that offer “decision points” where the player can choose to engage in realistic sodomy or fornication are also sinful. But there is nothing wrong with playing Scrabble on-line any more than pulling out the board and the letter tiles. The question is, do gamers make entertainment an idol?

TRUE CONFESSIONS FROM AN ADDICT - Part 1
by Mary Ann Kreitzer
I have a confession to make. I’m an addict. One night recently I spent about four hours feeding my addiction. Every time I finished one hit, I told myself to stop, but I didn’t. “This is ridiculous!” I kept telling myself. But then I started up again. How many fellow addicts imitate me? Probably millions, maybe hundreds of millions.

The Dark Side of Technology: You'd Better Know about It!
Parents need to watch this. Gaming addiction and social networking addiction are serious problems. And it's rewiring the brain. Think of little ones using these things from the cradle.
