| | Addictive nature of Video Games | | As a gamer, the risk of addiction to video games is a very high possibility. Due to the tendency of addictive content to be present within the games, it is often very hard to stop playing them. The video game industry encourages addiction as it means a far larger profit for them if the user likes what they are playing.However, becoming addicted to video games can lead to severe repercussions and the quality of life can be less. I for one know that becoming addicted to video games interfered with my schooling terribly and if I was not playing these games at the time; better grades would have been far easy to achieve.I am interested to hear any stories you have about becoming addicted to video games or the views you hold on this subject?Has anyone got tips to share to prevent addiction to video games? | |

| Why have video games grown increasingly violent over the years? | | Video games have been a means of entertainment for people of all ages for years now. Pong is one of the earliest arcade video games and is a tennis-type game where opponents (or a computer player) try to return the "ball" in a way that the opposing player will miss the next hit. Over time video games have evolved to include better graphics and better game play features. Mario Bros. of the early 1980's still showed pixel images, yet the graphics slowly enhanced -- the main character, Mario, being the protagonist who jumped on the heads of his enemies. Through the 1990's Nintendo came out with the 64-bit platform in 1996, the Nintendo 64--which improved graphics greatly since its 1983 Mario Bros. release. N64 games thrived with 3D images, considering the major improvement since the '80s. Fast forward to 2001 with Rockstar's release of the highly controversial mature-rated Grand Theft Auto III. The game, abbreviated GTA3 displays violent acts of crime in addition to adult references and drugs. In 2009, Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 was released worldwide--the highly anticipated first person shooter. Games have gotten so violent over the years. What's up with that? | |

| Why do you love playing video games? | | I'm curious. Why is video game playing so much fun for some people? I've never really understood this. I watched a video where they talk about how kids will play online games for hours upon hours, and I thought it was interesting so that's why I'm asking. Just in general, general video games; xbox 360, playstation, wii, even the retro stuff. Why do you like playing video games? | |
| | physical games or video games? | | would you rather play a rather tiring physical game or would you stick in playing video games in front of your computer?
If you're gonna choose a physical game what would it be for you...
Everyone will benefit more in playing physical games than spending time in front of computer because of the physical benefits it gives. | |

| Do you like video games? | | Are video games one of the things you like to do? Which kind are your favorite? What is your all-time favorite video game? Personally I am not that huge of a fan of video games. I find guys like video games more than girls anyway. I was never really into them that much. The only one I really like is rock band or guitar hero. Occassionally I'll play guitar hero 3, but tats bout it. But I know a lot of you guys do like video games. | |
| | List of Video Games | | My husband and I have made a list of all the video games we'd like. To be quite honest we should update it as I am sure there are some on the list that we've not thought about it until now or that haven't been introduced until recently. I plan to copy the list into a database at some point, and then possibly start a blog about the games as well. My question to all of you is this, do you make a list of all the games you'd like to buy? Does this help with holiday or birthday shopping? This year it will help a great deal for Christmas as I will be able to look at the list and pick a few games for my husband, I hope to get him four games at the very least:D | |

| Are video games the cause of violence and obesity with children? | | I have been having to do a lot f research lately on children's health and video games. It's for a class that I am taking. I was really surprised. I am a huge game fan but the research that I have done actually blames video games for a lot of things with children today. What do you think? Do you think video games are bad for children? | |
| | Do violent video games make kids violent people? | | I'm curious about this subject because it has come up in the news and within the online community, of course. The correlation between videogame violence, children, and real world violence may seem like a problem, but is violence within video games really something that makes kids act out violently? Or are video games just another thing to blame for violent behaviors in children? | |
