Okay, so we as gamers, obviously love video games. Probably a little too much… It’s no secret getting lost in a game can get us into a bit of trouble in the real world, (sorry Mom). In fact, games get kind of a bad reputation in general to non-gamers. Are games the creation of the Satan himself, or do they have real-world benefits that prove their worth? Luckily, we have a few reasons why they might not be a gift from the devil, because games are saving the planet, one awesome step at a time.
It's important in life to maintain a broad palette when it comes to culture and the arts. Hideo Kojima agrees, as he continues to use video games like Death Stranding to introduce people to music and other elements they might not otherwise discover.
Mojang has partnered with Merlin Entertainments to build the world's first Minecraft theme park in the UK.
A three-episode live-action adaptation of the first two Yakuza video games will debut Tuesday, March 17 exclusively IGN. Each episode is about an hour long and will stream on IGN.com and IGN’s YouTube channel.
I hope that one day, videogames can be freed of the tired and old stereotypes.
I'm sure there are many ways in that videogames can help.
I work as a nurses aid and one of the patients I used to care for was in a car crash, all he could move were his hands and arms and that was only limited movement so the doctors consider him quadriplegic.
He used to lay there all day on his xbox 360 playing games like red dead redemption and borderlands 2, but by far his favorite game was skyrim, he played it for months straight.
He would tell me how for him it was the only way he could feel like he was able to get out and about and actually do anything and for a 32 year old (at the time) that was extremely important to him.
Video games are a god Send and it's my hope they continue to be accessible to the people who not only enjoy them but greatly benefit from them to, that's why I like them to be as unrestricted with their policies as possible, not every nursing home has wifi so an all digital future in my mind isn't the way to go.
I think these kind of posts need more attention because I can name several ways games have benefited me in real life which is something a lot of non gamers laugh at if I ever say it out loud.
