I've become pretty harsh on video games in general. I wasted a lot of my life in WoW, and I've seen a couple other people waste their brilliant minds on video game playing. If it doesn't contribute to interpersonal, personal, or societial good, I don't want to play it. I've gotten my 'video game' fix by playing pen and paper RPGs and meeting new people. These days, I read history books for my "long-term amusement" and wouldn't mind playing video games with long-distance family (they don't play though). Remember Steve Yegge's talk this summer. Please, do something more uplifting than incrementing a digital counter.
