There is a great deal of fun things they can do on the computer without playing mindless, violent games.
However, its up to the parents to see that this happens.
Peer pressure be dammed.

I'm sorry, but what is the above comment supposed to mean. Is the videogame to be derided because it's not a book? Are parents who allow their kids to play videogames somehow below-normal intelligence? I mean, come on, if you're talking mindless and bad for you I can point out a host of mass-market fiction that would be far more detrimental than any Gears of War or Grand Theft Auto.
