I can relate to this post very well since I am also a gamer. I started playing video games while I was about 7 years old when my mom bought me a “Gameboy”. I really liked playing with that but my mom also balanced my activities such as playing outside with neighbours or playing badminton and basketball with my family.
Games today are very much evolving from the Nintendo Gameboy to the Nintendo DSi, the Playstation to the PS3 and PSP, and the Xbox to the Xbox 360. For every console people are making big changes so that more people would buy the product. Probably the biggest change so far is the 2D games turned into 3D. This change is why most people are persuaded to buy game consoles. They changed every type of games from racing to shooting games. In the old days racing games were just in 2D and you move left and right to keep your car between the sides of the road. Shooting games were also in 2D where you point and shoot your gun to your enemies. Now racing games are in 3D and when you drive you need to know a lot of things like brake, acceleration, engine, and a lot more just like you are driving a real car. Shooting games are also in 3D where you will see a real shooting experience where you reload, change guns and have a certain amount of life. These games are putting all of the youth inside their homes preventing them to do outside activities, homework and certain responsibilities. But not all games are doing this; one game console called Wii made by Nintendo is a video game but uses your body to play. This is a fun exciting console because while you play you move around your body for example while playing bowling in the game you need to move your arms like you are really swinging a ball.
Not all video games are bad for us. It depends on how you use it and how long you play with it. There’s nothing wrong with having fun in your life, just don’t overdo it.
