Some specialists even consider that there are certain computer games that even create an addiction among their players. The great variety of games along with the continuously <a href="www.gdconf.com" target="_blank">developing</a> technology of these games has taken over a great number of people from the category of <a href="www.mediafamily.org/facts/facts_gameaddiction.shtml">computer addicted</a>.<br />
There is a great number of computer games available right now on the internet and also on the specialized market. Depending on the category that they may be included in we can notice a great interest that people pay to <a href="http://www.google.com/url?sa=t&amp;ct=res&amp;cd=7&amp;url=http%3A%2F%2Fen.wikipedia.org%2Fwiki%2FStrategy_game&amp;ei=8xe0SOW_KZrc0AWS18CCAQ&amp;usg=AFQjCNEOvzSGuoLyeWI1juxSh3BKDXyOsQ&amp;sig2=jPX9fmndP-qcpaghFyuCYw" target="_blank">strategy games</a> and to sports games as well.</p>
<p>When saying that we must take into consideration the great number of computer gam<a title="Game developing" rel="attachment wp-att-120" href="http://www.madbabble.com/computer-games/game-developing/" target="_blank"><img src="http://www.madbabble.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/03/gamescreenie.png" alt="Game developing" hspace="10" vspace="10" width="213" height="160" align="right" /></a>es sold by now from this category. Hence, we may even consider that the industry of computer games has extended its domain and area of activity greatly since the times of apparition of the first games. The techniques and strategies of the <a href="http://pc.gamezone.com/released/released.htm" target="_blank">newest games</a> created have improved considerably, and along with this improvement we may also notice a great change in the prices of games.</p>
<p>Computer games producers are very satisfied by this present situation and for this reason their activity is more and more popular and at the same time continuously capitalized upon on the specialized market. Taking all these situations into consideration we may even consider that the <a href="http://www.gamesindustry.biz/" target="_blank">industry of computer games</a> can be included in the category of the most popular and profitable businesses at this moment. However, children are the ones who pa the greatest interest to these games and for this reason parents also play an important role in the marketing and commercializing process as usually they are the ones who purchase these games.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img src="http://www.madbabble.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/03/halo-gran7.jpg" alt="Halo Game" align="left" height="235" hspace="10" vspace="10" width="314" />The industry of computer games is continuously developing its techniques and strategies in order to make more and more appealing games. However, each company that produces video games is specialized in a certain type of games that address to a certain age group. For this reason, the variety of the existing games and of the games to be created is very notable and we should take it into consideration whenever we speak of this domain.</p>
<p>Specialists have reached to the conclusion that computer games are really useful and important as they can actually develop the players&#8217; imagination and use their intelligence and speed of reaction. This usefulness however, must be understood with limits as there is also a very obvious effect that computer games create that of determining addiction from their users and players.</p>
<p>All these elements must be considered when we decide about what are the exact benefices and drawbacks of<img src="http://www.madbabble.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/03/comp_games_addict_470x3070.jpg" alt="Addiction to computer games" align="right" height="170" hspace="10" vspace="10" width="260" /> computer games. The overall conclusion that psychologists have reached to is that computer games are indeed able to incite the players&#8217; intelligence but that they must be used with measure. That is why parents are advised to pay great attention to their children&#8217;s activities and also to the games they play to realize if these affect their behavior in some way.</p>
<p>All in all, the usefulness of video and computer games has been tested and it really is remarkable but the most important thing to take into consideration is not to let it create addiction among players.</p>

The world of virtual games has also developed greatly since the time of its apparition and for this reason children are more and more attracted by this world of games.</p>
<p>However, children are not the only ones attracted by this virtual world as there are many video games addressed to the adults as well. Among the games that adults usually play we can take into account the ones that include a bit of strategy or a bit of management issues. A game of this kind is Football Manager. The players of this game must act as if they were football managers and settle and coordinate their teams in function of numerous factors that occur successively in the game. The complexity of this game has made it very popular among the mature players and it has also contributed greatly to the Football Manager sales.<br />
The popularity of this game and of other games that include the same futures comes first of all from their images and from the realistic settings and backgrounds. The creators of such strategic games have taken into consideration the presentation of the game throughout its course.</p>
<p>All in all, we may consider that we are facing a real revolution and a continuous development of video and computer games and for this reason, the young generation has changed its priorities greatly since some time ago. The games are now very complex and make appeal to the players&#8217; intelligence and sagacity. For this reason we may consider that we are actually facing a revolution of video games.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The category of computer games includes numerous games that actually create an addiction for the people who play them. This fact has also been noticed by psychologists and experts in the domain who say that people are facing a real problem regarding the addiction to these games.</p>
<p>However, the category of players that is the most affected by this problem is the one of children, who create real cults for certain games and spend a lot of time in front of their computers days on end. Children play these games with their friends and the games are so interesting that they get absolutely disconnected from the outside world and get into the world of the game completely. <img src="http://www.madbabble.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/01/world-of-warcraft-logo.jpg" alt="World of warcraft" align="right" height="119" width="210" /></p>
<p>One of the newest games that create a sort of addiction is the <a href="http://www.worldofwarcraft.com/" title="World of Warcraft - Community Site" target="_blank">World of Warcraft</a> that is a strategy game created on the theme of the primordial war. Players must accomplish all   the missions and pass through all the stages that it is composed of in order to get to a higher level. The interesting fact about this game is that children can play it on an on, as the end of this game has not been known until now.</p>
<p>Also interesting about WOW is the fact that you can always use cheats that can be easily found on the internet and these cheats are meant to help you get to a more advanced level than the one your adversaries are.<br />
WOW is continuously attracting many children and for this reason we should consider it as a very popular game for our times.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img src="http://www.madbabble.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/01/children_computergames.JPG" alt="Children and computer games" align="right" height="175" width="235" />Children are the ones that most computer games address to and for this reason most of the game producers set the elements and features of the games so as to attract more and more children to play them.</p>
<p>The world of computer games includes many interesting features and details to discover and a lot of hidden information for children to find inside these games. Actually, once inside the world of the game, children find a fictional action by which they are usually very attracted. All the other elements, such as the hints, the cheats and the not so obvious details that these games contain are meant to create a special dimension in order to attract players more and more.</p>
<p>Quality computer and video games usually have a very complex action and this fact leads to a slight addiction at the beginning, which is usually pretty likely to manifest throughout the entire game. It is known that usually young players prefer complicated actions so as to test their abilities and to use their intelligence in a pleasant way. For this reason, the creators of computer games have molded their techniques in function of the players&#8217; preferences.</p>
<p>All in all, this situation has determined a great profitability for the companies that create the games on the one hand and a greatly interactive activity for the actual players of the games on the other hand. As a conclusion we may consider that games are usually very useful for children as they make part of the very universe of childhood and regardless of the risk of addiction, computer games actually have a constructive role on the whole.</p>
