What do gaming consoles refer to? They are actually a system that is used in order to perform actions on your PC. The term that one uses in order to characterize these is “video game console”, as it triggers the distinction between a machine that is solely designed to use it for playing just video games, from a personal computer, that comes with different many other features and even an arcade machines, which are made for businesses that need to buy them.

As the first ever video computer game appeared in the 1950s, the first video gaming consoles, appeared in the 1972. It was named the Magnavox Odyssey and it could be connected to a TV set. It then, came on the market, the Odyssey 100, the Odyssey 200, which could handle up to four players.

The second generation of gaming consoles was released by the Fairchild Company. They back then released the FairChild Video Entertainment System – VES. The year 1977 the video gaming consoles suffered a decrease and companies such as, Fairchild and RCA had to abandon their projects.

The home console industry was revived after Atari released in 1980 a conversion of the arcade Space Invaders. People bought this new game console especially for the game’s sake. After a long period of evolution, when a lot of new players on the market have started taking over, in 1983 the video gaming registered another crash.

Nintendo, is the one that came in the help of this industry, in 1984 releasing the Family Computer in Japan. They soon brought it as well in the United States and they provide it the name of Nintendo Entertainment System in the year of 1985. With the Super Mario Bros game, the Nintendo Company succeeded in reviving the gaming industry.

The fourth generation of gaming consoles was the Sega one. these were released in October 1988 but  they as well are able to be included in the fourth generation of the gaming consoles, gadgets such as NEC’s, TurboGrafx-16 and as well SNK Playmore’s Neo Geo.

The fifth generation began with the Atari Jaguar and the 3DC. They both used to be much molre powerful than the SNES. While this generation went on for some good years, tye next generation in line appeared, therefore, the sixth generation came on the market together with the DVDs that are used for game media storage. Some of these gaming consoles are Sega Dream cast, Sony Playstation 2, Nintendo Game Cube and as well the Microsoft Xbox from 2001. In 2005 the seventh generation of such gaming consoles appeared on the market and they were representative by  Microsoft Xbox 360, .

If anyone, may be interested in all the consoles that may have appeared so far, it is useful to realizes and to have at least the basic knowledge about this industry. Along the years, since their first appearance in 1972, when they were made, did them. Anyhow, if you choose to buy one at this moment to most suitable one for me I believe should be smaller and easy to use. Their prices vary, but as expensive as you buy it, the better it is. Therefore, one should think it carefully in advance and see which the best choice is for his needs.

However, there are different games themes, there are games suitable for children as far as there are as well games that are designed for more developed minds and that ask a certain view developed. Most of the people like gaming that ask for our imagination, our strategical thinking, our power feeling and usage.

In this category one will find the matrix gaming possibility. These are games that are specially biased on strategically and war games. The company has started by being created in 1999 in Staten Island, by a person that was into computer gaming and strategically thin king gaming – David Heath. By the year 2010 this company has published over 75 titles of gaming and not all of them are war games.

Some examples of the games that this company offers and of the sequences are Bonzai, Battle front, Birth of America, Carriers at War, Chariots of War, Distant Worlds, Operation Barbarossa – the Struggle for Russia, Spartan, UFO: Extraterrestrials, World War II and many such games.

In accordance to this view of the matrix fames, there is the matrix gaming industry that is not actually the same thing. It refers to an actual internet facility that offers one the possibility of accessing a wide variety of PC games. With the help of matrix gaming center, people can play games, interconnected within a local area, under the purpose of communicating and sharing resources.

The first store ever coming out from this actual company was opened in November 2002 and it contained 2,300 square meters. In four years time it opened four different locations. That is how well the business worked.

Unlike the other matrix gaming, this one offers us games such as Battlefield, Desert Combat, Project Reality, Half-Life 2: Deathmatch, Empires, Seam, Alien vs Predator, Call of Duty, Halo, F.E.A.R, Prey, SWAT; strategy games like Age of Empires, Lord of the Rings, Command and Conquer: Generals, Lord of the Rings, Armies of Exigo, Caesar IV, Ghost Master, Rise of Legends, Birth of America; sports games – Flatout, Sprint Cars: World of Outlaws; Simulations games – Sims 2, The Movies. Anyhow these are not all of the games that this site offers. There is as well, the possibility of playing console gaming with X-Box 360, such as Borderlands, DJ Hero, Deadrising, Gun, Guitar Hero etc.

Most of the games listed above are games that can be played through an entire network and that are what makes them be more realistic, just as the Matrix was.

Despite of what one may think about gaming industry, it is good to know, that people thought of enlarging it and making it be more advanced than just playing simple gaming all by yourself, games that do not even ask for your knowledge, creativity, good thinking, intelligence, strategically thinking. Even though, the way these games are made and their actual concept requires a vast knowledge about the action itself, as they are inspired by movies, history wars, the average aging people that play these games, are in their twenties.

If one has no control over himself and his mind, playing these games on an excessive manner will cause some behavioral dysfunctions to one. That is why, good and furrow educated people, over eighteen years old, are allowed to play these games. They most certainly cannot be palyed by under eighteen teenagers.

These one’s listed above are not all, but they represent the vast majority.

Anyone that decides in getting involved in the American gaming association, one can if one understands the AGA meaning, if one is in accordance to the AGA wishes and things it fights and advocates for, if one is a part of the casino industry or at least of one of the sportsbooks, associations, publications, financial service providers, pari-mutuel operators and unions. For entering this Association one must fill in a membership application form, complete it and then send it by mail or by fax at the available addresses. The response will not cease to appear.

What this institution is trying to promote is responsible gaming, both at the company and at the industry gaming level. In 1996 AGA offered funds in order to create the National Center for Responsible Gaming, that dealt mainly with the understanding the effects gambling has on youth and therefore treating this disorder that affects the vast majority of young people. This center works together with referees, parents, mentors in order to be able to combat the bad effects gambling has on teenagers and youth of all ages.

The gaming institutions are not required to be closed but they are required to have a more responsible conduit, therefore the AGA has released its most popular responsible gaming campaign, known under eth name of “Keep it Fun” campaign. It was then, in 2005 at its release seen with doubtful eyes, but after almost five years, it is the biggest campaign ever. Every profit made through this campaign is donated to the NCRG center.

This year is held the 13^th Annual Responsible Gaming Education Week and it is to be held between 2 to 6^th of August. The theme if this year’s week of responsible gaming is Taking the mystery out of the slot machine. It intends to focus on the educating employees and the public as well, on how slot machines work and as well learning how they really work. There are more than a half of million electronic gaming machines in just thirty eight states. Despite of this, few employees and patrons are aware of how these games truly work.

The gaming industry is one of the biggest industries in the world and as well one that has the biggest profit as well. While one entering this industry must be very well aware of the fact that besides of having a good amount of money to put into it, one must have as well some knowledge. If one knows nothing about the gaming industry he will most likely be fooled and lose all his money. This is a large industry, hard to enter but very easy to get out of.

A good example is Miss Bimbo. I myself played it and I must say that it feels good to live a virtual life where you can be whoever you want to be and where you can get dressed however you want or date whoever you want without others judging you. Of course this does not mean that a Bimbo Virtual Life is that easy. You still must work, eat, drink, take medicine when you get sick, you must buy stuff for the place where you live, you must take care of your pet( that is if you have one) but you can also go out, find a boyfriend, go dancing, shopping etc, and this is only one example among the numerous girl games that exist.

The computer games for girls are not as numerous as those for men. This is the reason why some girls sometimes play computer games for boys, such as RPG ( TheCrims-The life of a criminal) or Need for Speed or Counter Strike etc.

The difference between computer games for girls and computer games for boys is that those for boys are more complex and this is the reason why these games are more addictive. Boys will always play more computer games than girls, because girls also get bored relatively fast ,after only one game.

Computer games for girls mostly refer to little girls and teenagers but rarely to young women or old women. Little girls get involved fast in this virtual world because they can do whatever they want with their Barbie doll, and their little dog can walk on water and fly gaining points so for them these games usually offers them a world of fairy tales, of fairies and fairy dust, of princesses and magic. Computer games for girls offer them the possibility to enter a world that they only dream about.

Computer games for girls help little girls develop their imagination, their sense of beauty and gives them the possibility of not feeling lonely or just playing which is something vital for childhood period.

Taking into account the great amount of computer games that exist nowadays we could say that there aren’t so many computer games for girls, but that really doesn’t matter much, because girls are not so into the virtual gaming world and also they do play less computer games than boys.

Still, we can say for sure that in the near future computer game industry will probably have a separate branch for computer games for girls because nowadays there are more and more girls and teenage girls which use them in comparison to the number of girls and teenagers that played computer games in the past.
