Why do you have video games?

You can start out by signing up for a membership in Gamespot.com, Ign.com, or other prominent video game review sites.

Once you have an account, you can create player reviews to give your own personal review to the masses. But in order to do this effectively, you must be mostly objective, but it's okay to give some personality to prevent your review from sounding like a computer. Good descriptions and details are a must. REMEMBER: Adjectives are important. It's great to say "absolutely abysmal controls" rather than "bad controls" or "Awe-inspiring, colorful sunsets highlighting the battlefield" rather than "pretty skies."

There are many categories in reviewing. It is important for you to describe the game as best as possible, while maintaining interest.

Here is a list of a few categories:

Graphics: How good are they? How well do they compare to the average- or even another prominent game? Are there any graphical problems that you have noticed? If so, are they intrusive?

Gameplay: How well do the controls work? Is it so good that it's an extension of the body, or are they clunky and annoying? Is the game fun? What kind of game modes are there? How balanced is the multiplayer?

Plot: Here is where you can list the key points of interest in the plot, but don't give everything away. You should talk about the plot in the beginning of your review.

Sound: Are the sounds amazing? Repetitive? Realistic? Give examples.

And REMEMBER THIS: Try to be unbiased. It's great that you love the game, but be sure to list anything that you didn't like about it. A bad review is more helpful than a good one, because the buyer may decide if the game's faults over or underweigh the benefits of the game.

Because they think that if they play on them they will get smarter but they can damage their brain

I think that's a rather simplistic view. I play Video Games for the same reasons I watch films and read books: because it's entertaining. Some games have a more educational attitude while some are just something to do on the train or on the bus. Some have engrossing stories and characters and play like a massive, interactive movie. Some games are great for playing with friends and actually facilitate social interactions rather than discouraging them.

One of my favourite things about games is having a whole world to explore. When I was a kid I used to play my brother's games just so I could travel across these vibrant, diverse landscapes. It was years before I really thought of actually playing through the story, and I'm glad I did.

Would you want a 5-year old playing Grand Theft Auto? No, but seriously, some games are appropriate for different age groups, and rating video games helps let the parent or whoever decide that it is appropriate for whoever they are buying it for.

Because it is something I really enjoy and I have a great passion for.....playing with friends is much more fun as I really enjoy teamwork especially in MMO's It is a great way to relax as well as you immerse yourself in the game and forget about the real world for a moment or two
