Video Games Are Not Reality

Video games, another thing I am probably not like most teenagers on, but I personally think they are dumb except for I do play a few games such as, SSX Snowboarding, Mortal Combat, Guitar Hero, and some other sport games. But if it wasn't for having an older brother, i probably wouldn't play video games at all, because he is the one who always had the systems and everything like right now for example he is away at college therefore we don't have a game system at my house. Back to games though, i like sport games because they are easy and you can play and you aren't like trying to beat the game you just play. I like mortal combat because i kick butt at it, my brother says it only because I am a button masher, but i just think he can be a sore loser when his little sis beats him. And then i only got into guitar hero because my brother again taught me how to play and i also like world tour because you can play with a group of people and it is a good party game. Other than that I am not a big fan because i think that the money used to make video games and systems could be used for better things, and I also don't have the attention span to sit and play games for hours, I would rather do something more productive and worth my time. And lastly if anyone has ever seen me attempt certain games, I am like one of the worst video game players ever.
Do i think they ar harmful, yes because people get to into itand ike my title says its noteality, so you can losethat social contact by being addicted. Also kids should be outside running around and do other things, not cooped up in a room with their eyes glued to the tv.
Are they helpful? No I do not think they are helpful, I think they can be good time consumers but I dont think they are necessarily helpful to us.
