Kids Video Games Reviews and Tips
In this generation, Kids Video games are quickly becoming an epidemic. Young children from the moment they learn to
push buttons are being introduced to it. For gaming advertisements everywhere they go Kids and teens are constantly targeted. To escape the real world where making choices can be overwhelming and demanding, adults are sacrificing their lives for a fabricated reality, worse yet. Suffering the dire consequences, and millions are choosing this life. First, I want to answer the question: why do people become addicted to kids video games?
Boredom. This is a huge factor. Kids video games can easily consume countless hours of their attention, if you do not have a plan to keep your kids active during their free time. In life, it is almost human nature to default to the least challenging functions. Reading a book requires focus, and patience- it forces you outside of your perspective and way of thinking and introduces new possibilities, for example. Little, if any, of this does playing kids video game. Without experiencing a single thought- provoking process, it is quite feasible to spend entire days and nights playing.
Escape. Of real life, living in a synthetic cyber world allows oneself to ignore the worries and responsibilities. It encourages you to be content with whatever state your current affairs might be in. There is an extreme danger in spending too much time on them, while I agree that stress-relieving activities can be helpful, especially after a long day at school or work. This meant feeling okay about my lack of direction, my loss of desire for a career, my single status, etc for my self. Arriving at this point in life is a very treacherous position to be in, and it becomes more and more difficult to reverse the process the longer it is allowed to continue. It is allowed to continue, arriving at this point in life is a very treacherous position to be in, and it becomes more and more difficult to reverse the process the longer.
Entertainment. In today’s youth, this is especially common. Raised to believe they deserve constant entertainment are kids. From an early age, young children sit in front of movies and are given noise-making toys. With lessons being given via videos and computers, even schools are becoming more and more entertainment based. Instead of the “old fashioned” methods (reading!), students are encouraged to watch movies for “research” purposes.
Those what do they do, and same students come home? As normal, turn on the television until dinner time- only to eat their meal in the same place because a large number of families have accepted eating meals in front of the television. It’s no wonder so turn to video games for many people.
Self-Esteem. For the online gamer, this can be especially enticing. I had my character built up to the point where other players thought very highly of me, when I played my online game. Even begged, I was constantly complimented for my accomplishments, and not a day went by when I wasn’t asked, to play with another player on his team (the competitive side of the game). Which really fed my ego and made me feel like a “somebody”, I became known as an extremely good gamer.
It was never enough; I would sit around for hours waiting for less-accomplished players to take notice of me can the problem. My motivation was almost always: “People would really think I’m an incredible player if I succeed at this, when thinking about trying for a specific achievement. But I still couldn’t escape the sinking feeling that none of this is real, ” Usually, I was right- they did think that. I was deriving a poor imitation from people I would never meet or even know their real name for that matter, instead of feeling confident in myself because of my uniqueness and different strengths and abilities as a human being.
“Social” Interaction. I came across many people who admitted to me their fear of real social interaction in my 3 years of online gaming. They appeared to be very outgoing and accessible to other players the amazing thing was. But believe they can gain the attention and approval of others by portraying a false image of themselves through their online world, this seems to be a common scenario for those who feel they are unattractive and awkward in person. This seems to be a common scenario for those who feel they are unattractive and awkward in person after all. Even to the extent of excluding them altogether, the real danger comes when an individual begins to accept and even prefer it over in-person relationships.
Romance. A large number of online players are looking for love- in all the wrong places, belive it or not. I am not against meeting someone online if the end goal is to be with that person in real life, but this is not the case with the majority of gamers now. All while keeping them at a safe distance and retaining their anonymity, many are content to simply interact with their “special someone” over the internet. The results are almost always devastating, and what is worse is the fact that people already in relationships (even marriages with families) are falling prey to this form of e-romance.
But what about console games like Xbox™ and Playstation™?, the 6 reasons I just mentioned pertain mostly to online computer gaming. To play, I believe a lot can be learned through looking at the type of games a person chooses. A way to overcome challenging scenarios and “win”, most games have a goal. What these objectives are can provide great insight into why a person prefers some games over others, determining.
1. Is it an aggressive game? Violence game are becoming more and more popular today. To inflict pain and death on their victims, players are encouraged to use any weapon and any means possible. Of anger and resentment, it is entirely possible to use games like this to release bottled-up feelings. It is far from healthy and it should be guarded against from an early age of course. But the long term effects on their relationship skills can still be detrimental, your child may not go to the lengths of real life violence.
2. Is the game teamwork oriented? Involve players working together with each other to achieve a common goal many games. Sounds good, right? But again, it can be, the common concept throughout this book is balance. In real life activities where teamwork is encouraged, are your children also participating? In this genre are sports games and “capture the flag” scenario games, commonplace. But should never be a full-time replacement for the real thing, both can be very enjoyable.
3. Is the game highly competitive? Many people have a tendency to be extremely competitive, and a large number of games target those tendencies like my self. To be noticed and recognized by other players, tied in with this is usually the desire for distinction. Seeking it through video games should be never become exclusive, while competition can be a very healthy and rewarding experience again.
