Normal
becuase most kids (like my generation before ONLINE gaming) would play but get bored with it and still want to go outside. the kids today with online and how real and fun they can be will try to spend every single spare minute playing. i have no issues with my kid playing video games but its kept in check cause even at 8 he would want to do nothing else if i let him. ps... wasting your life on xbox would be retarded as fuck but i dont see a problem with using it as a form of entertainment. Watching TV can be worse. most the shit on tv wont teach you a dam thing or gain you any kind of skills. of course there is programs that will teach you things if you listen but weather its a good game for a kid or a bad game for a kid it teaches them great hand eye coordination and with the way technology is going that is going to be a more and more useful skill to have.
