    'Do you think computer games poison the minds of young people' No, since people of all ages play PC Games. Though, PC Gaming is an extreme waste of money.

    I've been reviewing Video Games for years, nobody has proven me wrong as of yet that the only reason people get into PC Gaming is to Hack, Cheat, Glitch, Mod or Download The PC Ports Illegally simple because they are cheap and easily accessible. There aren't very many non-ported PC Games that people would hand sixty dollars over for, plus dealing with specs and wondering if The PC Game you bought will work on your overly expensive Gaming PC is a waste of time. Personally I prefer to buy a game and know that it will work on the Video Game System I bought it for. 

    For those who disagree. Please list Non-Ported Originally published for PC Games that you'd hand sixty bucks over to own in a physical non-downloaded form, in other words No Valve's Steam. Now factor in how many Hacks, Glitches, Cheats & Mods are within this Non-Ported Originally Published for PC Game that you'd hand sixty bucks over to own in a physical non-downloaded form.

    No, I've played video games for as long as I can remember, PC gaming, Console gaming Handheld gaming. I've almost played it all. I wouldn't say gaming has poisoned me. In fact I'd say I learned a lot from gaming, some games taught me what's right and what's wrong (Fable), some games made me think anything was possible as long as I worked as a team and had the dedication to see it to the end (Mass Effect) some games even made me think about myself, all my flaws and my dreams (Final Fantasy 7).

    I do believe there are a few games kids should simply not play as it would probably do the opposite to them say if they played GTA or CoD, which most kids do these days. But then that's not the video games fault, that's the fault of their parents.

    They're only dangerous to delusional people who lack morals... in which case, those people would have been poisoned by the ideas in anything including story books. Those are the people who need therapy.

    If you have mentally stable kids playing games, they will be fine because they aren't so stupid or delusional to believe they can fly off buildings or shoot people without consequences. They know how to separate fantasy and reality.

    Obviously not. I've played video games all my life and I can use correct grammar and punctuation in sentences. Unlike you. :)

    Only if you cannot separate the game from reality.

    Not as long as you still keep your education and future in mind. I have known some computer gamers and they made out better grades, academically, then I did. Not all gamers are dumb.
