Gamer Revolution

According to the film, what are some pros and cons of playing video-games for individuals and societies?

-Pros: Any casual games can entertain people and make players relax such as Puzzle games and card/board games on computer or TV. Those games also train the hand-eye coordination and logical thinking while players play with software programes or other players throught online system. Besides, Players can improve their problem-solve skills and the abilities of coordination with others(not matter the AI or real peoplen)when they face the mission in any action game. Also,it is easier to make friends and communicate with them all around the world while playing online games. It just a chance to make foreign friends who have the same interest.

-Cons:It is a fact that most game players are addicted to the games easily especially online game. It is because there are endless missions and skills provided in the game and players just want to pursue them again and again,which may make some teenagers no longer pay any effort on their studies and even play games without rest.On the other hand, it is also easier to cause violent behavior because of any violent game. Teenagers may heve the wrong concept about violence and then tend to imitate some violent action shown in the game.



According the film, is there any evidence that digital games can encourage aggressive values and anti-social actions in the real world? Do you agree?

-No. I don't think so. Although in most of time,players need to be aggressive in the game, it is not means that they will be more aggressive in the real world. It is probable that players can distinguish between the reality and the world inside the game. Playing digitai games just like watching movies or TV programmes beacase there are both various themes including violent. Therefore,it is believed that the problem is not common with the age restriction in games.


Should governments have the right to ban certain games? Why or why not?

-Yes. I do think the government have the right to ban cartain games. It is obvious that some games are extremely violent and sensitive to the public and children. And some of them even just focus on the representation of violence without any meaning. So it is proper to ban the games just striking controversy in society and leaving bad affect on the mind of children.
