The development of pathologic addiction to video games is studied. Symbols and phenomena of virtual worlds of PC and play station games of different genres are analyzed. Main mechanisms of development of sociopathy and video games addiction are identified: these diseases are closely connected with video game violence, aggression, sexual perversions and inclusion in pagan-like religious sect cults.
