This is an article that talks about the many reasons why people love to play video games. Its a large community that is continually growing yet there are still many people who don't understand what the draw is. Hopefully this will clear things up.
Despite the fact that there are billions of dollars being spent on video games each year, there are many people that wonder why people love playing them. While there are some people that have strict beliefs that keep them from playing, there are others that have never played that are simply wondering just what the big deal is all about. If you happen to be one of the people that are wondering why people enjoy them, here are a few reasons why they're so popular.
The main reason as to why people enjoy this adventure is because they are simply fun. There are few people if any that have sat down to play a video game and not had any fun. Now before you think there aren’t any games you will enjoy, think again. There are thousands of game options and something for everyone. From Dora the Explorer and Transformers for the younger crowd to Call of Duty, God of War, and Mortal Kombat for the older crowds there is at least one video game that everyone enjoys playing.
You are able to create your own world and basically become a different person in the process. When you are playing games online, you are able to do things that you are not able to do in the real world… obviously. Last time I checked no one could scale a wall from one building to another like in Prince of Persia. But that is the point isn’t it? It’s a perfect escape from reality. Playing a video game takes you away from the problems of real life, and lets you relax even if it is just for an hour.
In games like Need for Speed and Burn Out you can forget about the speed limit as you are able to race cars and in Burn Out you actually get points for crashing, especially making other’s crash their cars. In God of War you are given the power of the Gods of Olympus as you hack and slash your way through Athens to the Underworld and back again in an effort to complete your quest. There is no doubt about it, they allow you to experience things that you wouldn't normally in real life.
One of the biggest reasons that people enjoy playing them is because they're for all ages. For instance the elderly community has been enjoying playing video games in increasing numbers. For instance there are more and more retirement homes that have residents enjoying playing things like bowling on the Nintendo Wii. They enjoy playing games like these so much that tournaments have been organized so that further enjoyment can be gotten out of the game. There is a game out there for everyone to play no matter what your skill level happens to be.
These are just a few of the reasons that people love to play video games. If you have never picked up a controller to play a video game you definitely should as you are sure to find it a very enjoyable experience.
