How young is too young for video games?

[BreakingBacks]

"The gamer side of me is looking forward to playing video games with Oz. In my fantasy future, video gaming is something my son and I do together to bond. Plus, he thinks I’m super cool because I own all the latest video games and because I kick major ass when we play 'Halo 14' together. But there’s also the paranoid parent side of me that can’t help but worry that video games, somehow, will warp my beautiful boy’s brain — that he’ll become badly addicted to them, that they’ll distract him from important things like school, the great outdoors and a career as a successful whatever. Yes, in my weakest moments, even I fall prey to the anti-gaming rhetoric."
