Games vs children

Hey parents ! just want to know, how games affects on kids development/brain ? As my 4 yr boy shows very much fascinating on car racing games n he shows very much enthusiasm on that .. what I observed is when he is playing he is more excited n I try to stop means he is showing angry n then cry for it .. I can see his changes but my husband keep giving him as he cries or when ever he asks for it .. I scold but no use .. pls suggest how to deal it .. is there any long term negative on this .. he does not show any interest on learning things like painting colouring .. if I force means he do for few mins .. am I expecting more in this age .. he just turned 4 on may .. thanks
