What are video games?

Video games are known to be a object of leisure. But now some people think that video games are their life. This symptom is known as 'video game addiction'. Because of this, parents are rethinking of buying their children games. There as been some commotion over whether video games are affecting students in their studies. My comment would be that it depends on the user of the game to have some self-control and not just sit in front of the TV and burn his or her eyes out...
