i think playing games is not the same thing as with the guitar. When you're playing games u usually get hooked by this meaningless task of saving the queen or to kill the haunted beast in the woods. And the worst thing with games is that its so hard to find a balance - people think it more like a lifestyle than a hobby. Take World of Warcraft for example, when i look back at old times when i was a "gamer" i didn't realised how useless it was. Is it so glorious to lvl a cartoon character to 70 and get the mighty gear? What happens afterwards?
When it comes to guitar i think the biggest task there is to find yourself. To be happy and to succed in life. Something i think is hard to do with games. Sadly i dont think games is a piece of art cuz it doesnt free your mind - it does nearly the opposite. What is the great thing with the guitar is that even those who had the worst child hood can relate this to guitar and give the music its soul. And people will respect you for that - which others wouldnt if you just sat on a chair playing a stupid videogame 24/7.
But that is only my opinion - good luck
