Video games and family bonding

[redriver]

Just saw this on The Escapist and thought it was pretty neat: The Escapist : News : Study: Games Help Families Bond

I know my brother and I have definitely become closer after playing games together. Plants vs. Zombies, Resident Evil, Halo, etc. - him and I have had some very fun times with video games. Just curious as to whether gaming has affected any of your relationships, positively or negatively?

The same holds true for me and my sister, playing games together made us more friendly (only when I let she win hahaha). Now with my father it actually led to some fight but no big problem. In general I agree that games are good to family bonds.

Negative according to most parents coz its wasting time and ruining education and fights/arguments would probably occur because of games not bonds being made between parent and child, but if the parent plays games too.. then thats another awesome case
