Video games, Good or Bad

TE33ER · May 15, 2019

Lots of kids love video games. In fact, they like them so much that they might hear something like this from mum or dad: "Enough! Unplug that thing and find something else to do!"

It can be good advice, even if you were just about to crash through to the next level. Why? Too much of anything is just too much. It's true that some studies have shown certain video games can improve hand–eye coordination,
problem-solving skills, and the mind's ability to process information. But too much video game playing may lead to health problems.

It's hard to get enough active play and exercise if you're always inside playing video games. And without enough exercise, kids can become overweight.

Really overdoing video games also could affect other important stuff, like friendships and how well a kid does in school. And kids who play violent video games might act more aggressively.

But here's the good news: Playing video games some of the time can be OK. Just choose quality games and limit screen time — which includes TV, computer, smartphone, tablet, and video game time combined — to no more than 2 hours a day.

A good game will be the right one for how old you are. Games are rated like movies and your mom or dad can help figure out which ones you should use. If you can choose one that gets you up and moving, that's even better.

You might challenge your mum, dad — or even your grandma — to swing the bat in a game of baseball or try out some fancy moves in one of the dancing games. Could your grandma be a dancing queen? Time to find out!

I think is good, but with moderation and careful which type of games the child plays. Since last studies says the games make your brain work more, and with this comes more benefits with health, less probability of some brain diseases.

I'm not shore what this discussion is asking if its a simple as the tittle says then I think video games are good but your description seems like you have a subjective view of video games with out actually asking a question.

when I opened this up I expected a discussion were we could talk over what we thought was good and what we think was bad but it really does fill like rather then trying to get that from the community your more trying to get them to follow and agree to what
your saying

I appreciate the information you have provide but this is less of a discussion as it is more a slanting of gaming and gamers.

thanks

@ToG,Im saying,It is the fact that i was having good games,Then suddenly the next few just changed into not being able to even raise my weapon when faced with an enemy,It seemed as if guys were warping round me.It was that bad it was laughable.No mediocre,From
decent to unplayable.

[/quote] I understand that, but while you were having the good games were you streaming videos?

Thats the point here. Good internet, bad internet, ... you're gonna get some bad games. But the way you said it, the majority of you're games were good, why suddenly after a bad match is there suddenly a need to stream videos. Sounds like your just a
bit greedy if you ask me.

I can understand someone who has bad mathces all the time to want to do something about it. But sometimes you just have to accept the bad with the good .... just like every other person that plays the game.

do not ever pay attention to online reviews..... they are so biased... both good and bad... goto the game... click on the videos.... goto youtube... check out videos... LOOk at what you want to play.. not read about it from someone who probably played it
for 5 minutes, gave up.. rage quit... and wrote a bad review..

Growing up in a bad neighborhood. Video games and RPG's helped provide not only and escape but through decent games. I was able to pick up some good morals and values as well.
