Are Video Games A Waste of Time???

I continued playing Harry Potter today. I am advancing in the game but I'm not all that interested in the game. It's seems like a children's game. I had a hard time remembering which button controlled which skill because as I advanced I learned more skills and needed to use more buttons. I was trying to think about how the game involves strategy or problem solving skills. I will have to keep thinking about that. The game does involve teamwork. During the cup matches I play with my team mates of Hufflepuff. I pass the Quaffle and try to shoot and score.

Video games is a new domain for me. I am not familiar with this domain. I am learning but I'm not convinced yet of the value of the learning. If I wasn't playing my video game I would be watching TV so I'm not sure how much learning takes places while I'm doing that either.
