AsSalamoAlaikum Wr Wb..
Sorry to pop in, but you know what, psychologically speaking, these things do affect us....I mean, with time, we do get used to such stuff, and I believe they affect our behaviour n personality.
I have no reasons to support, and am speaking based on some personal experience. badrobot14 will definitely be able to give you an answer supporting it with references, inshaAllah.

don't know about halalness.. but see games are a problem I've too.. but I stoped all kind of violent games.. only keep it to FIFA to be safe... n even then that's wrong coz of tym waste(laghv)... so I devised this compromise that I mute the vol n listen to something good whn playin.. :D coz these things take away frm our purpose of lyf..

my fav teacher quotes 7:179 "Many are the Jinns and men we have made for Hell: They have hearts wherewith they understand not, eyes wherewith they see not, and ears wherewith they hear not. They are like cattle,- nay more misguided: for they are heedless (of warning)."
and says ever seen a kid playing vid games..? they have no idea what's going on in world... just like cattles too

coz animals like rabit etc are sharp but cattles r so heedles a car passes by n wd have no effect on em..
so he scared me... so I thought better safe then sorry.. coz it does take us away frm remembring Allah..

The matter of discussion doesn't involve addiction. If control over the time wasted is strong and behavior isn't affected, is it STILL wrong as a general fact?
I can see that movies and dramas are prohibited because of the presence of the opposite gender and your sins increase as your share the movie names, but i am still confused over the game matter.

ok found a fatwa.. havn't read it but seems relevant:
