Your thoughts on panorama this week

[Jazoni89]

What did you guys think about the controversy filled panorama this week. Did you think it was biased/unbiased. Do you think they raised some interesting questions? do you think video game addiction should be a medical term?

What do you think?

already spoke about it on another thread about Panorama so i'll just copy it here.

not as bad as i thought but they only looked at MMORPGs. what about the console gamers? it seemed a little biased but not as biased as i was expecting, at least they went into (some of) the positive aspects. plus they didn't end saying it was bad and should be purged from all households.

From what I gathered they seemed to be repeating themselves quite a bit, and focusing on the MMORPG's alot more than console games, (I think only Call of duty was the only non-MMO mentioned) and not even bothering to show any facts, just some stories from people who thought they were addicted.

As I posted in the other threads on the topic In all I thought that this wasn't too bad, only a few things that rankled with me, such as trying to apply South Korean Culture to the UK. There are clear differences in emphasis between the two countries and i feel this could have been made more clear. Also I had hoped more would be made of the lengths family members should be going to help deal with the problems.
In addition, the online resources that were mentioned at the end were fairly useful, if sparse.

On a lighter note , I was sitting laughing at the warhammer posters on one of the british gamers walls as i kept looking to the left and seeing the same posters.
