Is it a sin to play video games?

I am a christian but I like playing video games as well. ( Mario, nintendoland, donkeykong) Will God be upset that I am playing these games. I try not to play too much, and I spend lots of time reading the Bible, but im not sure.

Please answer kindly. If your an atheist, I will still respect your opinion. :-)

    No, but if you feel like you need to, repent.

    Hi, Dominick. No, it's not a sin. You are neither neglecting your personal responsibilities nor looking at inappropriate content. You're okay. God wants you to enjoy the life He has given you. God bless you.

    No, playing video games is not a sin. As long as it isn't the center of your life.

    Did Moses say so? No! So it is not a sin. Disobeying Moses was considered a sin.
