Online gaming?
What’s so important about this?
First off, I’m not talking about those little games you find on yahoo, shockwave, etc.
I’m talking about what can be called Massively Multiplayer Online, MMO, games.
Do you know?
I do.
These games are important to the upcoming generation of kids and to people of almost any age.
Why?
They allow interactivity.
People can get that from chatrooms and such?
No they can’t.
We will take Halo for instance(any of the three will work).
During online play, you can take place in team matches.
This is the most fun in any game.
You’re wondering why killing each other is important to my kid, right?
Yes it’s very important. Only at a certain age. That age is what can be called the age of accountability, the age when right can be deciphered from wrong.
Violent video games relieve stress.
Now, the team matches promote team work. People learn how to communicate with each other. They also learn the cultures of people from around their country and the world.
MMORPGs are the best at this. They let people to develop more emotions due to the fact they are playing someone besides themselves. In an MMORPG a person creates another life for him or herself. It allows them to be anything they want to be.
Plus it’s just fun.
