I myself do like playing video games from time to time as I see it as a way of relaxing after a stressful day at work or an escape from homework and the stressful times at school, just like how music is used to keep people calm and relaxed alongside television and movies. Yes at times I may get addicted where I play for hours on end but then realise that I have to wake up and snap out of it so I can get other things done. I don't fully agree with people saying that video games ARE bad for you, I just don't really agree with the addiction which is one of the main problems of today. The addiction to video games I feel is what is turning people away from gaming and again also the violent content portrayed in many games. But I really do see video games as a great learning tool for kids just so long as they are not exposed to them so much that they become addicted. There are many games out there such as they newly released Portal 2 games which asks the player to help solve a variety of puzzles in order for their character to complete its task and move on to the next level. Games such as Portal 2 help to challenge the minds of not only children but also adults as well.

It is good to see that not only have you given and provided a back up of your evidence about the subject, but also the fact that you gave a personal view from your own experiences of video games. It helps people who are reading this understand that you have had these types of experiences and know what video games actually do to you, showing that what you have written definitely is "The Truth."
ReplyDeleteHey SpeedyZ,
ReplyDeleteHaha yeah I decided to go with a topic that not only is controversial but also something that I have experienced. It just helps readers get a better view point of what video games can do to people in the good and also bad ways and to keep them thinking that video games do have their benefits.
Thanks for the comment
