Benefits of Video Games:

Yes there are benefits of video games as its harmfull in the same time. There are great benefits of video games but yet it depends on how we use? it what is the resone of using it? and the amount of time YOU spinding playing it!!
I thought video games has disadvanteges only as my dad use to tell me all the time.But after reading research about it i start to think of  it way different from the way i used to.
The very first benefit which amazed me is that Games help children who are ill or have injuries.
Focusing in a game makes the mind forget about pain and discomfort. And now even hospitals are encouraging children and others who have a painful treatments to play games in term to forget about pain.According to griffiths a professor at Nottingham University wrote in a medical journal another benefit that playing games could help children with attention deficit disorders. Research also shows that the children could gain social skills.Futhermore, Games enable you to make your own decisions and think on their own. Games can also improve languge for example, as Abdul has mentiond in his topic a bout the chat it can be languge improve where you will get a chance to talk to many people from different nationalities. Video and computer games help children gain self confidence and many games are based on history, city building, and governance and so on. Such games indirectly teach children about aspects of life on earth.

Video Games Took a Shotgun to Board Games Face?

Board games were always there to save a rainy day or on when on holidays in some remote town without any landmark for 200km they would always save us from the inevitable boredom that strikes within 15 minutes of doing nothing. But we rarely play board games anymore.
I came last night, tired from work only to see both my brothers and their friends gathered around a small board game called balderdash. They were screaming, laughing, heckling the hell out of each other. I haven't ever seen them act like that in a group while playing video games. Thats why its such a shame to see video games anti social dominance roll through like a steam train destroying what offline interaction we have.

Bring back the board games! This Christmas holidays I'm promising to myself that i will ditch the wireless controllers (at least for some part) and reintroduce board games to my little cousins. Hopefully they will see how just how fun they can be.

Game Review of ★Mario Kart Wii★

Hello guys, i love to play video games with my WII when killing spare time. I played a lot of wii games, and one of my most favourate one is Mario Kart Wii. It is really a good game for playing with ur friends, and especially ur girlfriend :P

I would like share some of my experiences of playing this fantastic racing game with u   guys, hope u enjoy it.

Before u start the game, u can choose various characters such as mario bros, big monster, princess,etc.. After u pick up ur character, u need to choose ur Motorcycle, just choose what ever u like. It is pretty fun to try out all the vehicles.

This game is more about racing, u can choose to play with in teams or single competitions. There are totally 12 players in the game include bots. Three Laps is needed to finish a game.

This game is easy to attract players attention, and u will easily put urself into the game completely.

Lastly, i suggest u guys to buy this game and enjoy it with ur friends or family. Hope u guys like it.

Gaming Giant Makes Gargantuan Mistake

Call of duty Black Ops(Cod BO) was hyped to be the best call of duty game ever made. It could have been, and it still might! but the problem is, It's bugged to the ends
of the earth.

I recently bought an alienware laptop which is considered a high end laptop designed specifically for gaming. So when i picked up my pre-ordered game of CoD BO, i thought
my laptop would have no problems running it. I installed it, loaded it up, and in the menu it started doing something I wasn't expecting. It was lagging...
I nearly threw my laptop out the window as this was the first game i had loaded onto it and i thought it was just a piece of trash that i had wasted $1500 on. After
raging to one of my friends about it, he tells me that a lot of other PC gamers are having the same problems, even absolute top of the range computers. It wasn't the
computers probem... It was the game. This top of the range game that was hyped for months was unplayable. Screw you Call of Duty! Your game lags to the point its unplayable!

Release a patch that fixes it or give me my money back!

Has anyone else had this problem? let me know!

THE DANGER OF COMPUTER GAMES:

Today video games play a very important part of our children and teenagers entertainment. However, video games can lead to many dangers things like violence (aggressive behaviour), obesity or waste of time. This gaming attitude has become a threat on children now days all over the world.

       

THE AGGRESSIVE OR THE VIOLENCE GAMES…
If the kid play these aggressive games it is most likely he/she will try it in his real life. Kids now days become mere and moere aggressive as they become moere intersted in computer games.

In the main time violent games has reached to reality where the graphic, sound effect the way of the gun shot and the way of stealing cars. All this technology made it easier for the kids to try what ever in the video game in his real life.   

we have heard many stories of teenager involved in really aggressive fights. A lot of children try to heart themselves or others just because he saw that in a video game and it didn’t heart.

LAZINESS CAN COUSE OBESITY AND TIME WASTE:

 Kids now days are more obsessed to computer game and that’s leads to the lake of movement, don’t exercise and even doing the necessary work.

The playstation (PSP), nintendo (DS) and other video games made it eay for kids to become lazy where they can play it where ever they want and they can be connected with their friends via wireless. So these devices made kids into games and far away from the real life. Teenagers spends more than 10hr playing video games in their holydays and around 5hr a day in school days.

Play and chat at the same time

In this society video games have different ways to influence young generation. It includes the effect of benefits  and harmfulness of usage whilst playing and chatting at the same time.

One of the advantages of playing video games are meant to be the most common spare time activity globally. While playing games, you can also communicate and make new friends internationally, this makes the games more fun and enjoyable. For example, there is a website that I highly recommended is called Gamezer. The site has a lot to offer, which has many varieties of games such as billiards, chess and gladiator. 
First illustration shows that you can play and chat with someone at the same time. There is a box in the right hand side where you can do this.

Second illustration, shows the members can watch two players playing the game and chat with them without playing the game.

Third illustration shows you can have internationally chat with a different player. For example, if one of the players in Australia you can play and chat with any other member from other countries.
