Recently, no, maybe from long time ago, my brother became reticent. He often locks himself into his bedroom and no a little bit communication between us.
My mom are so concerned about him. He just likes playing PC games as his eternal mission. I think he is a auite normal boy, but my mom and I couldn't help concerning him.
Even though we try to communicate with him, but it is no use.
How to deal with this situation?

Maybe your mother should oblige him to talk about his school or work or the games he plays on the internet. Just make him talk and share stories.
He is like that, because he is so engrossed in enjoying PC games. There should be a time for that and a time for family bonding.

We tried several time for family bonding, but it seemed no use.

i think you should talk to him, hopefully he is not depressed. if he has his own world, then your family should be receptive of him.

That's the attitude I hold. I think although he is quiet, but it is normal of him.

@Behindtheguitarbar how young is your brother? if he is still school-age, then he may have an imaginary friend whom he can interact with and thus ignoring the reality.

@Behindtheguitarbar Yes they are, so any clue to figure this out so far?

Limits are of course good for all of us.

It`s hard to know your brothers sickness but I suggest that you sent him to a Psychiatrist to analyze his true problem after you can get some ideas from the Psychiatrist on how to deal with him 
because there are people who are not sick but only wants to be alone (Introverts)

Sounds serious. If that is not his normal behaviour you have to consult the expert. This could be a sign of depression. I do not want to sounds nega but its better to be cautious about it.

@Behindtheguitarbar To find something you both interested in. Establish your common topics. Maybe he would feel comfortable, and tell you what he felt.

Sad to hear that. He seems to want to shut the world out and that cannot be healthy. Has he given any explanation for his seclusion?

I really don't know how. Maybe you can jump into his boat and play video games and talk aboutthe game.
