The pros of video games


         How much do you know about video games ? It is a form of entertainment in which it involved both our hands and eyes coordination to generate visual feedback on a video device . But , is video games good or bad for us? It is actually good for us! Most of the survey  in internet shows pros of video games is more than the cons of video games.

         First and foremost, video games promote puzzle-solving and logic skills. Most of the video games requited the player to solve puzzles or make a final logic decision in order to advance in the game. These eventually trained the player to think the best way to complete their levels in the video game. Once these players involved in video games for a long period, their problem-solving skills will be improved in which they can apply it to real life.


         Meanwhile, most of the video games involve multiplayer. Multiplayer video games foster the cooperation ,teamwork and sharing among the player. In multiplayer video games, player must work cooperatively , function ad a team and share responsibilities and rewards . Multiplayer video games promote these valuable skills, which translate easily into team activities and even employment . Sometimes, some players of video games to have their friend to send certain item to compare their task in video games.


         In addition, video games are relatively inexpensive entertainment. Aside from the initial outlay on a video game console. Video games themselves are relatively inexpensive. Spending RM10 to RM20 on a video game with anywhere from 20 to 50 hours of gameplay is worth enough . This cost a little  only for excessive entertainment .Therefore,  bu comparing this to a movie at RM12 for two hours, and a video game are a bargain.

        Besides, educational video games make learning easy and fun. These video games should be a part of learning in school. Students who play educational video games will help them to have a better absorption on what they have to learn.Some kids just hate anything they think is "educational" by default, but education video games make learning easy and fun . Game designers develop them in such a way to promote playing even in kids who typically avoid educational content by promoting achievement and competition.

       In conclusion , I strongly urge people to play video games and update their video games from time to time. Playing video games bring pros more than cons therefore there is no reason for us to reject or deny it.
