What do computer games refer to? They refer to spending quality time, rather than just sitting around and not doing anything. There is a good thing to know what to choose from. As in the beginnings there was a small variety of computer games, and the most of them developed on the first game release, which was a war and battle game.

Anyhow, all through the years they registered an increase that is to say they proved to be better than just at fighting and action. They proved to be able to have educational characteristics, learning possibilities, enjoying, love, sex, so there is a wide variety to choose from.



If you are a home parent and you want o develop the knowledge of your child better and as well have a quality time with him, one can choose from the computer games for preschoolers offered by many such companies: Fisher Price, EduTaining Kids, surf net kids, big fish games, and many others.

Some interesting computer games for preschoolers, are Nick Jr games online like DJ Hoho’s Dance party where little ones have to dance, and will have to start up the band and play the dance party game with Kai-lan and Hoho. The mouse is used to match the colored notes to the musician with the same color instrument. When Hoho spins out a yellow note, one has to click on the note and click on Tolee, who's playing the yellow guitar. Every time one matches a note with a character, a lantern light is lit. When all the lanterns are lit, the disco ball drops. This game has three levels and each one of them has some other friend to play with Hoho and Kai – lan.



The preschool games that the Fisher Price offers are, Count the Score game - where one has to learn the number in order to be able to actually win the game; Power Wheels Racing game – one will choose with what car one desires to race with and then play the game. There are some ground rules to choose from and as well one should pay attention to the bad and the good items that are in stored.

The Charile Brown game offers children the possibility of playing baseball and teaching its basics revolving around batting, pitching, base running, managing, and fielding and of associating each character with a puzzle. These games are needed  in order to recruit a character as a player in the big game. However, before the games open up, kids must solve a problem associated with the character. Examples of these problems are the necessity to "remove" Lucy from Schroeder's house in order to recruit the piano-playing boy, and bringing the girl that Pigpen is in love with. They include as well musical phrases, repairing an alarm clock by connecting cogs appropriately, catching objects.

LadyBugs is an online flash game that features a maze game for children. It consists of a collection of 3 maze games where the player has to help the ladybugs find their houses. Children will be able to learn colors and develop their orientation skills through this game. It is a challenging and fun activity to stimulate your child's thinking and color recognition skills, while at the same time, simply having fun.

If you believe that computer is a bad thing for your child to have in the house, there is no other worse thinking that you may have. Anyhow, it is bad, but one should pay attention on the time your child is spending playing games on computer and should care for him as well, play with him as he will get just the good things out of the game.

Some may think that playing computer games is always something negative, especially for children .But are those who believe this always right? Further on I will try to find and explain some reasons why computer games are good for us.

First of all, living in this world,  when the time passes very fast, when the entire world is based on a very fast evolution, computer games are one of the most relaxing and especially cheapest ways of relaxing ourselves. Think about people who work all day long, and can not afford all the time to pay for the gym or go to trips. One of their relaxing ways is playing computer games, half an hour per day, or even more. This can not harm anybody .So, a reason why computer games are good for us is because they are relaxing.

Second of all, there are numerous educational computer games, such as “Conquiztador”, or games about mathematics, literature, word order, chess etc. So another reason why computer games might actually be good for us is because they can teach us things, in an easy and pleasant way. This reason applies for people of all ages, such as children, adults and old people.

Third of all, by playing computer games we can easily interact with other people from all around the world. Think about the fact that not all of us have the possibility to travel around the world, and by playing computer games is easier for us to meet new people, to find out more about other countries, their culture and their way of living. This is a good reason why computer games are good for us because as we all know, there are two types of people around us, introverted and extroverted people. For those who have problems in interacting with others (introverted) and showing their feelings or opinion about all sorts of things, computer games can be very helpful.

Last, but not least, one reason why computer games are good for us is because most of the games that we play are so much fun. By playing a computer game we can be whoever or whatever we want, whenever we want it. It’s great to be able to have some sort of idea about how life would be in another reality. For example, playing real time strategy, real time tactics, and role playing games etc. can make us fell a lot better after a bad day at work or even in our spare time.

There are many other reasons why computer games are good for us, but there are also a lot of reasons why computer games are not good for us, so the important thing is to always keep in mind that there are only computer games and try not to loose our connection with the reality in order to have a happy and healthy life.

Educational computer games, as suggested by the name, are a fun way of developing personality and knowledge, they facilitate learning. They are used mostly with little kids because of this characteristic, as their favorite time passing activity is having fun, playing. Continuing this thought we all know that it is easier to learn something that we are interested in, rather than something that we do not care about or even bores us.

This is where the games come in. When someone begins to play a game he or she is interested in that game, so if that specific game includes some new, useful information then that specific information sticks with us, we know it from then. As a result educational computer games are created especially for children, in a way that these games help them in their development, in their education.  ABCya! for example is a developer of educational computer games for elementary students. While playing these kinds of games children can also learn basic computer usage, besides math or reading which is also essential.

Educational computer games include in most cases funny word games or jigsaw puzzle games. These can expand the children’s vocabulary and motivate them to learn more, because, obviously, the more you know the more likely is that you win or at least you do not get to be the last one. And as the grownups, they also like to win and they also have a competitive spirit, or if they do not have a competitive spirit then playing can help them develop one. Another useful property of the games is that while playing the little ones learn to obey the rules, to play by the rules. So games have an important social role, where it is also necessary to obey the rules.

However these games are not the only ones which can teach us something. I mean every computer game has an educational side, even the shooter games. These games have a story, which are based, inspired mostly from real life moments. As Call of Duty where the action takes place during the Second World War or Far Cry which takes place in Africa and can remind us to the movie “Blood Diamond” where the most diamonds are coming from.

Another form of education in a computer game is when an item is called “Excalibur” as King Arthur’s sword given by the Lady from the Lake. Maybe while playing the gamer becomes interested in that specific sword decides to find out what that is. Reading the text about Excalibur he or she will learn not only about the sword but also about King Arthur the Round Table, the knights and so on.  As we can see every computer game can be able to teach us, to educate us because of its unique way of captivating our interest.
