Do video games really make you fat, depressed?
I don't know about this survey. I'll have to take it with a grain of salt. I'm sure there are plenty of overweight video gamers (we are the U.S.A. afterall), but it all depends on lifestyle and the video games being played. Take a look at the wii, it actually gets people off the couch and makes them do physical exercise. In fact there are games dedicated to exercise on the wii.
