Though I am not a religious person, I think it a reasonable thing to say that most video games are a work of the devil. Games like Grand Theft Auto and Doom teach people to kill, rape and steal reflexively without conscience. They are insidious training for mindless obedience to a military state. The US Army is writing video games to recruit youngsters and desensitise them to killing.
The simulation games are a completely different kettle of fish. They teach people to think ahead about the consequences of their actions. The athletic Wii games too are in another category, great fun and get kids off their saggy butts.
