Computer games are a great way to spend our free time, they help us have fun for free.

I like games that can be played in teams, so I can invite friends to play too, and it’s more fun than playing with strangers.


Whenever I have some available time I like playing what I like to call “small games”, and I mean cards any other non strategy game.

Strategy games are “big games”, they imply more concentration, more time and a good disposition. I have friends that meet weekly to make such games sessions, they create teams and play against each other. There are strategy games that look so real! Killing people, monsters, going trough a tunnel or saving lives, the scenario seems so real. Maybe that’s why even grown up people spend a lot of time in front of the computer relaxing with such games. Sometime you can not control the time you spend playing, and here is a problem.

There are studies that reveal the danger that computer games represent, because they “steal” our time and make us forget about reality. Strategy games are often catchy, especially for children. They like to play and win, and they are not aware of the fact that they need to spend less time in front of the computer. Monsters that appear in such games make children more aggressive, say the psychologists. Especially when the child is very small. They tend to imitate the gestures they see in those games and so they become more solitary and aggressive with friends and family. The isolation is not good for children. Isolation is the first sign that demonstrates that children prefer computer games monsters than socializing. Children should understand that the world they see in this games is just virtual, that nothing is for real and, in most of the cases, those places and monster heroes do not exist.

Monsters from this games are created to kill and destroy. A child can understand this is something normal that should happen every day, and so he feels like a hero that needs to save the world.

90% from the teenagers play computer games, and 15% may be dependent of this kind of activity. Some children admit that they play over 12 hours a day! Even grown up men recognized they lost their jobs of families because they considered winning a game more important.

If the children (or any other persons that love to play) understand that the dangerous things may be part of our lives only in small quantities and only for fun, I am sure that computer games (even monsters) would not be a big problem. It’s very important to take care especially of our children.
