Akio Mori, a professor in Nihon University's College of Humanities and Sciences, conducted a study which claims prolonged use of video games causes less beta wave activity in the prefrontal region of the brain, the region which is responsible for emotion and creativity. The study links this decrease in activity to loss of concentration, having a short temper, and decline in social skills.

 

Personally, I'd say it was the monitor radiation rather than the content of the games themselves responsible for this, if this study is even peer reviewed and found to be valid, which I doubt.
