Change For The Better.

Who doesn't appreciate change when it comes to video games? The evolution of video games is truly amazing! I think it's great how our technology has grown so much in so little time. From 2d pixelized games with beeping sounds, to 3-d high definition games that look more realistic than real life. If you haven't played games in a while, you'd probably be surprised with some of the new games with amazing graphics. Modern Warfare 2, Need for Speed Shift, and NHL '10 just to name a few. The evolution of games is clearly beneficial to everyone. The detail in the games just make your game-play so much more enjoyable. The question is are they too enjoyable to the point where teens are addicted?. A lot of parents would probably say there child isn't doing enough homework, or helping out around the house enough because of their video games. But we as teens are just trying to enjoy ourselves. If not playing video games, than probably something else (not homework). For many of us, video games have become a daily part of our lives. If all this new technology is now available to kids and teens, why not take advantage of it. There have been some arguments saying that video games are over rated, but the proof is right in front of them. I think these new games just amazing! With HD and Blu-ray graphics and high frame rates which create a smooth game-play, gaming can be enjoyable for everyone. Wii has tried to change video games from sitting and starring into a screen, to running, jumping, and being physically active. Wii fit is a good example. Being an owner of Wii Fit, I personally know that video games aren't just sitting and pressing buttons. Video games can be good for you. Most people don't get enough exercise, and games like Wii fit are there to help them. So if you look beyond teens getting addicted, you'll see that video games are simply fun, and can even be beneficial.

  1. I agree! The evolution of games have turned into a big phase. Even though video games can be addicting, we would just have fun and take advantage of it. I also agree with Wii Fit. Wii Fit has revolutionized the gaming industry and they way we can play it. Instead of staring at a screen, we can physically get fit. Video games are indeed beneficial.

  2. I believe that wii has progressed much more that the PS3 and the XBOX360 only because the wii allows the user to enable him or herself into the game. The users body movements contribute a key factor in the game development either in a story mode, a quick game or any other miscellaneous game mode included in the game itself. TRUE.
