玩电子游戏—Playing Video Games

I like to play video games in my free time. Sometimes, I play video games by myself, but I also invite friends over to play. I really like games that deal with sports, role-playing, adventure, but I don't buy games that contain certain types of content. Playing video games helps me burn off stress and kill some time, but it also can be addictive¹. A lot of people are concerned that people waste too much time playing games and do not get enough exercise because they sit in front of a computer or TV too much. Also, some people say that children as well as adults tend to isolate² themselves and fail to develop relationships with others. I think if you regulate³ how much you use it---I mean, using it in moderation----then playing video games isn't a bad way to spend some of your time.
