Nah, not really. Video games have been shown to be very good at increasing problem solving, planning, and fine motor skills. The problem is parents (including mine) who didn't/don't put reasonable limits on their use. A kid who plays video games a couple hours per week is going to turn out just fine. I think there are also serious qualitative differences between games in the 90s/00s and mobile freemium games of today.
