Hi Tele,

I thought I had a Similar Issues . . . category for this topic, but I don't so I just created one at the end of my answer. This is a relatively new feature to the site that can be found here:

• Similar Issues . . .

It's a good time saver if you are looking for a quick answer to a Catholic question on a specific topic or issue!

That said, I searched through our site and found similar questions related to playing various video games. I think after reading these postings you should have a good answer to your question.

• Does the "Dungeons and Dragons" fantasy (RPG) role-playing game have satanic origins?
• Are viewing video games a sin if they contain nudity or language that I would never be drawn into?
• Is the game Crime inc. a sin or is it a bad game to play?
• Is there is anything wrong with playing violent video games?
• Is pretend magical role-playing OK and is writing fantasy stories with evil characters OK?
• Is it possible that killing someone in a video game is equal to killing someone in the heart?

In a couple postings I also made references to video games I played with my nephews:

• Can you provide some advice for a devout Catholic fiancé and a devout Baptist fiancée?
• If I go forward with a divorce, are there any grounds for the annulment of a 17.5 year marriage?

I hope these help,

Mike
