So You might be thinking "But how are you being active if you are just sitting there" Yea I Know but..

The Video Games set a new mindset for people and gives them a challenge to overcome and entertains people at the same time. Also people travel across the world just to play games which I think is incredible.

Isn't playing video games a danger to most children due to the violence ?

"It is a fact that extremely violent and disturbing video games are being played by minors. Pew Research Center research in 2008 found “about a third of teenagers who play video games report that at least one of their three favorite games is rated Mature or Adults Only.”
