I don't think they do. If any visual form of media was to be linked with mental debiliatation, I would say television. My argument has always been that video games are good for the mind because regardless of the type of game, you're thinking and strategizing. Not to suggest just watching TV would create mental retardation because I don't think it does. I think you still use your mind when you watch TV, just maybe not to the degree you do with video games.
