I am an avid gamer, I always have been! I love the stress relief it gives me. It really takes my mind of work and helps me "reset" when I need it.
Gaming is great in moderation!
P.S I love my DS for travel!

Ugh. I'm also an avid gamer--at home!--but I'm not sure I see that big a difference between a company-sponsored Wii haven and the rock-climbing walls and foosball tables you'd find in one conference room of every "savvy" technical startup during the 1990s.
And I suspect you'll eventually face the same problems anew: some folks with addictive personalities will take too much advantage of these recreation activities, and co-workers--young and old--will bristle. Then come the rules, and then come the politics.

Justin, I feel the same way. Gaming in moderation really helps me de-stress.
Sean, I understand your concern. Like I mentioned, this won't work at most companies, at least in their present form, because most companies don't have the right corporate culture.
Luckily, I work at a company where a game room works. And it's awesome, because I get to play video games 2-3 times a week, for 15 minutes or so each time, with my coworkers. We don't have an abuse problem because we all work extra hours anyway to meet deadlines - the longer you play the longer you stay to get your work done.
Thanks for the comments!
