Violent games

Recent study stated that playing video games
won't aggressively affect people's mental
side and behavior. Violent games such as,
Call of duty, Modern warfare won't affect
gamer's behavior and won't likely push
gamers to commit violent acts.
Furthermore, video games don't necessarily
improve gamer's mental function but it can
improve behavioral and visual function.
In order to control the effects of video
games specially violent games, one must
understand the effect it has on the brain
including in the areas of aggression and
hostility. But usually what matters most
is playing these games can cater enjoyment
and fun to gamers.




Reflection: Video games have had a major
impact on how people spend their leisure
time. With each new generation of video
games people are spending more time and
money on them. In order to fully control
the effect of it, we must first better
understand the effect it has on the the
personality and behavior. As we reach
their understanding hopefully, game
developers can create ganes which will
help gamers expand their minds and
shy away from the current trend of
violence in video games.
