Alright, think about this a moment.
Do you ever feel bad for reading a book with some certain unsavory parts, but overall really enjoy? I shouldn't think so, after all, God made us to love him, to love our neighbor, and really his message is of love and forgiveness.
Videogames aren't real, they don't translate into evil deeds, but if you feel uncomfortable with some things such as killing or so, just choose more peaceful or cartoonish games. You don't feel bad watching cartoons beat each other up, right? Well, lots of videogames have cartoon-type violence, it's not all GTA and such. Some games you could be interested in are puzzle games, arcade games, and if you look around you could probably really find some fun ones without involving killing people, which is probably the part that bothers you I'm guessing.
So, if you don't like violent games, don't play them, if you do, I'm sure God will forgive you if you want him to.

You can still be close to god and still play violent video games. The only time god would probably be unhappy is, if you were obsessed with these types of games, where it was taking over your whole life.

Yes, it makes you still close to God,...unless you're going out into the world and shooting cops and defeating Heartless...! ^^
But if you feel you shouldn't play video games anymore...send them to me.

usually if you talk to your priest at your church he/she will tell you that it is just a game and that as long as you attend church and ask for forgiveness....all will be ok......as far as the violence, the whole world has it.....just remember it is just a game....

You should get that Left Behind game. It is pretty violent, but you're killing heathens, so that makes it OK... I think.
