Games can be positive and negative:
Violent games such as call of duty or Halo can have a negative effect on younger children. There is too much violence and it is for a more mature audience. Also sometimes a person can get obsessed with a certain game and it can be negative for them. They will spend all day in front of this game instead of going outside and exercising in the fresh air.
There are positive games as well. Some games can teach someone new things. If a ga,me is based on real events and real facts then it can be interesting and a fun way to learn something new. There are also games on, for example: Wii that have excercises for you to do in the game. These are a couple positive things about games.
Games are to entertain and we use them to have fun and lots of people ike to play them in there down time. You can play games with your friends and it is a way to relax and have fun.
