I wanted to buy a better computer to play better video games – nothing like saving the world.”-As said by Elon Musk. Video games are the most complex medium of entertainment the modern world has to offer today. What was once thought of as mere distractions, this relatively new entertainment medium has captured the world by storm and have quickly…

Many people think that violent videogames are to blame for most of the crimes committed nowadays. This is not the right way to look at things, since there are actual studies that show that videogames, especially action games, can enhance people’s cognitive abilities, relive stress and depression, and also help the economy. These studies have been done to see if there is any connection between videogame violence and actual violence. Yet lot of other studies have also shown the benefits of…

One of the most mentioned issues regarding the debate around video games is that they heighten aggression. While some studies suggest an argument that violent video games cause increased violent behaviours, individuals, as well as some media outlets often, fail to see that this "heightened aggression" is often merely frustration at the game itself. One can easily picture the scene of an angered teenager screaming at the TV in their room due to a failed level, quest or mission or even the death…

The video game industry has always been known as a male-dominated industry, with most video games being marketed towards males and many video game programmers being male. But in recent years, there has been a rise in the number of female gamers in the industry.

hours playing video games weekly. My sources were CNN, Futurism, SheppardMullin, and the American Psychological Association. You should care because you or someone you know most likely loves to play video games. They could be a really nice person but their gamer nature might contradict it. The reason I’m doing this topic is because I am a huge fan of gaming and I want to show that all gamers aren’t bad or a terrible person.
