I suppose that I should have qualified that statement at bit more. You are correct, but I think that there needs to be a deep appreciation for the storyline and that there needs to be some element of truth conveyed in the storyline that contributes to the good of the person. We need to be careful not to allow the video games (be they alone or with friends) or even works of fiction take the place of real relationships and communication skills that contribute to a whole view of nature, not a merely permanent virtual (or literary) vacation.
But, yes, Chupperson is right to point out that video games can tell a good story and that there is much to be gleaned from good, well-told stories.
