Video games do affect your behavior. One source states that "While research on video games and aggressive behavior must be considered preliminary, it may be reasonably inferred from the more than 1,000 reports and studies on television violence that video game violence may also contribute to aggressive behavior and desensitization to violence" (1). Another study reports that "Hostility was increased both in subjects playing a highly aggressive video game and those playing a mildly aggressive video game. Subjects who had played the high-aggression game were significantly more anxious than other subjects" (2). They help heal cancer because it helps the brain cell. {3} This can be found at: http://serendip.brynmawr.edu/exchange/node/1742

No!
That depends on a lot of things.... If they are violent video games, the parents and even just how long they play it. If the video game becomes a part of their life, it CAN actually affect their behavior. Some researchers say that it is a type of stress relief too though, so there's not a for sure answer.

Violent video games provide a window for children to vent. If children didn't have video games like Grand Theft Auto, they wouldn't know the consequences of stealing a car, or beating up a hooker. If I have played it in a video game, I probably wouldn't want to do it In real life.

Studies have shown that violent video games can cause aggression in children. However, it's not the content of the video games that causes the aggression so much as the frustration over the difficulty of the games.

yes it can
Yes, video games are known to affect social skills. If one sits and plays video games all day they are secluding themselves from others and not communication, ergo not having social skills. However, video games may also affect one's social skills by altering their behavior. For example, it is known that if you play violent games, you are more likely to have violent behavior.
