don't know if taking away tv & video games is the best or only solution.
Never punish a child by taking away those things. It can lead to a perception that television and video games are a reward, which could then intensify their need to watch and play them on their own time. Yard work, grounding, or any sort of chore would be a good alternative.

I'd stick with you're idea of sitting down and talking to find out what's wrong. Even if he doesn't open up, it could give you more insight on the problem.
