A new survey of more than 1000 Australian parents commissioned by video game maker, THQ, has found that 76% believe video games have a positive effect on their children.

South Australian children are the most active video gamers in the country, with 46% of children playing 1-2 hours a day, compared to 37% nationally. Victorian parents are the most accepting of video games, with 80% believing they have a positive influence on kids.

And NSW parents are the least likely to believe their children have enough play time overall, including sports, outdoor playing and other entertainment – 67% compared to the national average of 74 per cent.
