And they can even be... fun. I know, it's crazy.Yeah the wii has really slacked off recently but there's some things Id like to play on it. I think I'd play a whole lot more if it had achievements!@Dom - I used to get that so much with tetris. I'd see blocks every time I closed my eyes! @krobotkin – Yeah, games are just as valid as books or film as a pastime and also develop logical skills, creative thought and can even be educational.

Shouldn't you rest?" After playing Stronghold for 8hrs straight the only thing you can here in your head is “more wood needed”, “sire, a strange malady has infected the village” and the built in warning message “sire, you’ve not slept for days. Shouldn’t you rest?”

The one about games being 'addictive' always makes me wince. People see us gamers playing and it looks like we're in a trance and this scares the crap out of them. Then they decry it as a brain rotting past time that they would never partake in. They then sit down and spend the next 3 hours reading a book and fail to see that they too are in a trance like state as they become engrossed in the text, assuming it's a good book of course!Games are not 'addictive'. They are compelling. Just like film and literature. It's just that they are a damn sight more interactive and it is this aspect that scares people who don't play them.Having said all of that, I have to agree with Joefeesh's post above, using the excellent Tatsunoko Vs Capcom as a means to communicate each point was a sublime move. If only more Wii games were like that eh? Very amusing. The one about games being ‘addictive’ always makes me wince.
